Cannot add Roblox group as a social link to a game

Reproduction Steps

Try to set a Roblox group as a link. It will not work and say the link type is required.

Expected Behavior

The Roblox group should be allowed. Other social links work (even though the drop down is still blank for those, which is probably a separate bug)

Actual Behavior

Cannot post a social link. Link Title cannot be filled for any type of link, and for Roblox Groups the link type does not seem to be automatically selected.

There are no items in the dropdown

Even though this is true for all link types, the others seem to autofill this field behind the scenes and so you can still post Discord and Twitter links and save all the links.

Hey, @MasterDaniel !

While at the beginning of using the new website under Creator Hub, going to Social Links and adding my Roblox group with a casual URL link, I thought it was an odd bug, however, it is just a wrong structure. As @Focia19 said to me in the past, you just need to only put the ID of the group! Nothing further such as the part in the link about or a slash symbol at the end:

Hopefully this can help you out!

Why is the URL box allow up to 256 characters if it’s only the ID? Also, it says ‘URL’ not ‘ID’.

It uses the group ID rather than a full URL to ensure people don’t put offsite links. As for 256 characters, probably just threw in a big number for that.

Thank you for helping the devs, sir! @JuanGamerPlayz_RBLX

I will contact the documentation team, maybe we can do something to inform the developers better when it comes to social links!

Closing this thread because of what I stated above! :slight_smile:
