Why Webflow does not allow putting relative URL in CMS? 🙃

In CMS, the URL field only allows putting full absolute URL. Why?
I remember I come across this problem long ago, and see posts and wishlists talk about this.
This hindering is still here today…

  • Bad for sites under development that do not connect to the final domain yet.
  • Cannot apply :current style
  • Cannot navigate in Designer, force to open external tab
  • Bad for maintenance and updates.
