Missing URL editor on the Bookmark

[KnowledgeGarden]

When you first create a bookmark, there appears a URL box.
When you return to edit the URL no such text box appears.
(Or, I'm such a newbee that I simply cannot find it).

@KnowledgeGarden We'll take a look at this together in one of our next online meetings.

@jri @junes You can close this one.

URL topics are simple (text) topics. Simple values are immutable in DMX. You can edit URLs only in the context of a (composite) Entity, e.g. a Bookmark (consisting of URL and Description).

To edit a Bookmark either choose Edit from its context menu (on the topicmap) or press the Edit button in the Detail Panel.

If you think this matter should be covered better in the DMX userguide please consider to improve it 🙂

I have no complaint about the documentation. It is quite satisfactory - to me.
The situation is this:
I created a bookmark by opening a new topic and choosing Bookmark for its type.
Apparently that is not how you do it.
Still, as a bookmark, my expectation is that when I edit it, a URL box should appear in the UI.
My expectations are driven by experiences on other platforms.
In fact, I do not see a URL box.
How I got there is this:
I created the bookmark - and did see a tiny URL box - but did not have the link handy, planning to return later to add it.
Returning later meant no more URL box.
Apparently, if no url is entered first, then system behavior is to ignore it (just guessing).
Mine is, of course, an edge case - the kind hard to predict.

I created a short video how I would do it. See wiki
Tip: use 'a' as input if you do not have the link handy to edit it later (a Bookmark).
