      Issue Summary

      In Assist, when an user enters an invalid URL in a custom field of type URL (or with >255 characters), a generic error message is shown, instead of specifying that the failure is because of the invalid URL:

      Steps to Reproduce

      1. Create a Request Type form with a URL Field
      2. Setup JSM Chat on Slack 
      3. Configure the Request Type with the URL Field onto a Request Channel
      4. Try to raise a request through Slack using Assist
      5. Provide a URL with >255 characters OR without the correct URL syntax expected by the field. For example, enter www.atlassian.com instead of https://www.atlassian.com/ 

      Expected Results

      The Assist bot should mention display an error message indicating that the URL entered was invalid, instead of a generic error message.

      Actual Results

      A generic error message is shown:
