Setting flexifield sub-fields as required stops node saving, with msg "Required fields" although, these required fields contains a regular values and they aren't empty as drupal think.

I've tried to set these fields as not-required, node saving works well and no problems launched.

How can i use required fields and save the created node correctly using flexifield. Probably we need to insert more fakes (patch) to make all field validations pass.

Note: the required fields that encounter a saving-problem are text and numeric fields.

Are you get this problem before? Can u help me?

Thanks.

This looks like a D6 flexifield support request, not a D7 Field API bug report.

I'm using the latest 6.x-1.x-dev of this module (2011-Feb-25). I'm having the same problem. I have a content type that contains two fields that are both require. I put this content type into a flexifield and made the flexifield required. When I try to save the content, all my required fields are showing up with a message that says the field is required even though I've entered a value.

6.x-1.0-alpha5 is doing the same thing.

Here is a patch with only one line commented.
It corrects this issue but I am not sure on side effects regarding the comment in source code just above "Clean up what was done by forcing #input in order to have this function run".
