I am following this guide: https://docs.digitalocean.com/products/networking/dns/how-to/add-subdomain/#create-a-new-hostname-with-an-a-record
I am expecting to type “api” in the HOSTNAME field and get:
But instead I get:
The only additional records I have are NS records pointing to ns1.digitalocean.com, ns2, ns3 etc. and a CAA record reading www.mydomain.com
I tried deleting all the records and starting again, in case the presence of the www in front of mydomain.com (like “www.mydomain.com”) was part of the issue. This caused no change in the behavior of the A record input.
Obviously a me problem but I am not sure what the fix is.
