I am not been able to add an A Record to my domain managed by DNS. It has worked in the past through DigitalOcean where I add a hostname and an external IP so the URL directs to that IP; however, today when I try to fill it out and submit a new A Record I get the error that “Data can’t be blank” and “IP address did not match the IPv4 format (eg. 127.0.0.1)” I am sure that I am entering in a hostname and providing the IP address in the correct format. Is there an issue with DigitalOcean’s web gui? Is there another way for me to add the A record?

This issue should be resolved soon. In the meantime here is some more information:
The issue is limited to A and AAAA records. If you need to set one right now you can either:
- Use Firefox, Safari, or the API
- Use the dropdown instead of manually inputting the target IP
The second method will only work for resources already in your account.

I had a similar error today:
Select resource or enter custom IP cannot be blank
Turned out there was a leading space in my IP address from when I copied and pasted. As soon as I trimmed it, the error went away.
In case this trips up someone else.

@matthewrussell Looks like Firefox works too! Thanks for hint ;)
Failed for me as above on Chrome, tried on Safari and it was OK.
I’m having the same issue. I checked Chrome DevTools and I see that webapp does not send IP address to the server, other fields such as TTL are sent properly.
<3 for this writeup.
