Fieldtype fails when field is set to ‘required’ and inputting new list item

Bug Report

Running EE v2.1.1, build 20101020.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Create a field group.
2. Within that field group, create an Updatable Select Dropdown field, assign it a few values to start, and set it to be a required field.
3. Assign this field group to a test channel.
4. Go to Publish and select the test channel.
5. Enter a title, and then click the plus sign icon next to the Updatable Select Dropdown field you created. Enter a new list item, then click Submit.

Expected behavior: entry submits successfully.

Actual behavior: returned to the entry form with the error message ‘[Fieldname] is a required field.’

Can you confirm and let everyone know when there’s a fix available? Thanks!

(For anyone who needs a workaround right now, when I set the field to be *not* required, everything works properly. Now it’s just a matter of training the client to enter something into that field.)

Hello, please, check v 1.2.1 I’ve place workaround for “required field” issue. Need to test. I’m waiting for a feedback.

But note, If you want to make this field is required, there is need to have at least one option in dropdown list.

PS v 1.2.1 now supports safecaracker
