I have a content type with a field type Link. I would like to set default text and url for the field. Under:

Structure » Content types » MY CONTENT TYPE » Manage fields

I tried entering # and [current-page:url:absolute]. Both of them were not accepted and the below are the respective error messages:

  • The value [current-page:url:absolute] provided for MY FIELD NAME is not a valid URL.
  • The value # provided for MY FIELD NAME is not a valid URL.

What is the right way to enter the current node URL as a default value into a Link type field?

    Are you doing it in code, or on settings form? If in code, please post your code. If in settings form, please post a screenshot.

You need to use module field default token to work global as well local token in field value. You can use your previous token i.e. [current-page:url:absolute].
