'link' type in custom fields does not work
Closed, InvalidPublic

Description

I'm unable to define a custom field with a type of 'link'.

This works:
{"mycompany:motto": {"name": "Project Motto", "type": "text"}}

This doesn't:
{"mycompany:motto": {"name": "Project Motto", "type": "link"}}

According to the docs, it should work.
I can save the config entry, but then it doesnt appear in projects.fields

What version of Phabricator are you running? You can find it in the header in Config → All Settings. It should look like this:

I can't reproduce this offhand. Where are you looking, exactly?
