Is it possible to remove the validation for the Email field (or other URL fields)?
I can do it easily in PODS and am hoping I can here, too.

Use case:

The email field is part of a settings page for a WAAS.
During signup to the WAAS, the customer will complete a form that includes email. This form will auto-complete the Settings Page using a search/replace function. So, I need the email field to begin with {contact-email} and after they signup, this will be replaced with their actual email.

I need this field to remain a URL field (not just a text field) because I am using Elementor Dynamic Content to set it as a URL on the front-end of the site.

Thanks for your help 🙂

Hi Kara,

The HTML5 email field works like a text field with validation. So it does not make sense if you use the email field and remove the validation, just change it back to a text field.

Or you can use the text field with pattern to validate input strings, read more here https://stackoverflow.com/questions/5601647/html5-email-input-pattern-attribute
