Error notification missing for forwarding domain back to itself

PRODUCT, VERSION, OPERATING SYSTEM, ARCHITECTURE

Plesk 18.0.64
OS: any

PROBLEM DESCRIPTION

When changing the Hosting Type for a domain to Forwarding you can't set an URL using the domain your forwarding from (because that would create an infinite loop). An error message is shown to the user when they trying to do this.

However, when a users changes an already existing forwarding URL to the same domain, no error message is shown. This might confuse users, as the new URL isn't saved (as it should).

STEPS TO REPRODUCE

1) Create subscription
2) Change hosting type of subscription to Forwarding, set URL to the same domain as the subscription.
- Notice how an error message shows "Redirect address can not be set to domain name."

3) Change hosting type to Forwarding, set URL to an external domain (for example plesk.com), and click save.
4) Open hosting settings again and change forwarding URL again to the same domain as the subscription and click save.
- Notice how there is no error message shown this time.

ACTUAL RESULT

No error message shown.

EXPECTED RESULT

Error message shown to indicate that forwarding URL can not be set to the domain name.
