 Has anyone sent sats to a non-nostr lightning affiliated wallet from primal? 

The number selection only shows up when you try and send to a nostr user. When you paste in a lightning address and or scan the QR code. 

Am I doing something wrong or is primal sending directly to wallets beyond nostr just broken?

@miljan ? 
 If they didn't KYC I would be able to try it  
 I was able to send from Primal to 8333.space:3338 using the QR code to fund my cashu wallet earlier today 
 I just tested it and it worked to pay a btcpayserver generated qr code.  
 The ui wont let me put in a number for the amount  
 Ahh...ok... I'll go play.  
 I manually entered in an external lightning address and then a new keyboard screen popped up and I entered the amount and it sent it.  
 Hey @rabble we totally support non-Nostr wallet transactions. We support both on-chain and lightning transactions. 

You can either scan codes from these wallets, or if you prefer sending to an address, we have a “send address” field after pressing “send” from the wallet.

Please let us know if you have any other questions ! 
 Hey  @rabble, what Marko said above is correct: you can pay lightning invoices or send to any lightning address using Primal Wallet. 

HOWEVER, we do have a known bug in our iOS app where if you scan a lightning invoice of zero sats, the app doesn't give you an option to enter the amount. I presume this is what you ran into. 

Should be fixed in the next public build.

 so here's the problem:
the field itself is picky in format, if theres a valid lightning address, ONLY then does the button "Next" show up, however clicking next results in error invalid lightning address. the receiving wallet also has a reusable lightning address which is unacceptable format with primal. 

 
 also just tried creating an invoice instead but same error after clicking next 
 You are not wrong  
 To be clear, i got it working... months ago. ;-D
