Problem/Motivation

I've encountered what appears to be odd link field validation, at least the validation failure message doesn't seem to be proper (unless im missing something obvious)

Steps to reproduce

  1. Fresh install of Drupal 10.2.3
  2. Have a content type with a link field
  3. Set to internal only
  4. Disable html5 validation - can either do this via a form alter, or manually add 'no validate' to the markup to force server side validation
  5. Create a new node of the content type with the link field
  6. Add a title
  7. For the link field add www.drupal.org
  8. Try and save

Expected
Meaningful error message

Actual

Error message
Close
Manually entered paths should start with one of the following characters: / ? #

Which isn't strictly true, adding a scheme to the URL and it accepts it just fine (https://www.drupal.org) so the error message being returned doesn't seem accurate and is misleading

Proposed resolution

Better error message? Do we even consider this an issue?
