<p>From my experience I think you can work on all kinds of elements, you just have to know how to use them, I have done a webpage that contain most of them look it at this url : <a href="https://beta.sfd-yemen.org/project-fund" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://beta.sfd-yemen.org/project-fund</a>
for the url, you do not need to add the hidden field,
this work just fine:</p>
<pre><code>&lt;div class=&quot;col-sm-6&quot;&gt;
                                &lt;div class=&quot;mb-3&quot;&gt;
                                    &lt;label for=&quot;projectName&quot; class=&quot;form-label&quot;&gt;Website:&lt;br/&gt;
                                    &lt;/label&gt;
                                    &lt;input type=&quot;text&quot; name=&quot;fields[urlField][value]&quot; value=&quot;{{ entry.urlField }}&quot; class=&quot;form-control required&quot;
                                           id=&quot;projectName&quot; placeholder=&quot;Enter Website&quot;&gt;
                                    {{ _self.errorList(entry.getErrors('urlField')) }}
                                &lt;/div&gt;
                            &lt;/div&gt;

<p>I'm working on a front-end entryform and wondering which field types are supported with the default controller ({{ actionInput('entries/save-entry') }}). Title and plain text fields are working but looks like URL fields for example doesn't.</p>
<p>In the backend I'll see there is an hidden field with type for the URL but adding that also not updating the field value. I tried this:</p>
<pre><code> &lt;label for=&quot;website&quot;&gt;Website&lt;/label&gt;
                    &lt;input type=&quot;hidden&quot; name=&quot;fields[website][type]&quot; value=&quot;url&quot;&gt;
                    {{ input('text', 'fields[website][value]', entry.website ?? null, {
                        id: 'website',
                    }) }}
                    {{ _self.errorList(entry.getErrors('website')) }}

<p>Only use <code>fields[website]</code> with or without <code>fields[website][type]</code> also doen't work.</p>

I'm working on a front-end entryform and wondering which field types are supported with the default controller ({{ actionInput('entries/save-entry') }}). Title and plain text fields are working but looks like URL fields for example doesn't.
In the backend I'll see there is an hidden field with type for the URL but adding that also not updating the field value. I tried this:
 Website
                    
                    {{ input('text', 'fields[website][value]', entry.website ?? null, {
                        id: 'website',
                    }) }}
                    {{ _self.errorList(entry.getErrors('website')) }}

Only use fields[website] with or without fields[website][type] also doen't work.

From my experience I think you can work on all kinds of elements, you just have to know how to use them, I have done a webpage that contain most of them look it at this url : https://beta.sfd-yemen.org/project-fund
for the url, you do not need to add the hidden field,
this work just fine:

                                
                                    Website:
                                    
                                    
                                    {{ _self.errorList(entry.getErrors('urlField')) }}
