Detail

When a field is marked with attribute M on the form topic (the field is mandatory) it will not accept a value of 0: instead Topic Save Error is received with the error that the required field is not fillled in. This is the case for all field types (text, textarea, checkbox, radio, select). I expect the problem is testing the submitted field value for truth rather than non-zero length, which I suggest as the expected behavior.

Created test case TestCase3957

One possible fix is to apply this patch to lib/TWiki/Form.pm:

              # Remember missing mandatory fields
              push( @missing, $fieldDef->{title} || "unnamed field" );

              push( @missing, $fieldDef->{title} || "unnamed field" );

Thanks Dylan, your analysis, testcase and code were extremely helpful. I fixed it slightly differently, but in retrospect your way is cleaner (I will remember it for the future).

Fixed on MAIN and Patch04x01
