overriding required attribute at field level in 8.0

[senordhuff]

Hi,

In 6.5.1, you could define a field as required="true" on the datasource and then override that at the field level for a specific form with required="false". However, it appears that is no longer working with 8.0. Is this a bug? Or, by design? If it's by design, how can I override the required="true" for one specific form?

Are you talking about both client and server validation? The server's not aware of the form definition, so regardless of what you attempt to do in the form, it will reject the record when the save occurs.

No, just client-side validation. I recreated this easily in our feature explorer. Do you need me to send an example?

We see it.
This has now been fixed. The fix will be present in nightly builds going forward (April 5 2011 and greater)
