[opencms-dev] OpenCms 8.5: Why is the CategoryWidget a required field by default?

[Schliemann, Kai]

Hi Tobias,
thanks for your answer.
good point.
BUT:

1.       I defined several other fields (e.g. OpenCmsString fields) in the same way. They are not marked in red color and I can still save my file and the values are saved as well.

2.       I haven't defined a validation rule. So I expect OpenCms to save the field without error, because the element exists, it is just empty.
So I stick to my opinion, that this seems to be a bug.

Am I right or wrong?

Best regards
Kai

Default is minOccurs="1" and maxOccurs="1" so
<xsd:element name="TopTeaser" type="OpenCmsCategory" minOccurs="1" maxOccurs="1" />
in your case.

Try
<xsd:element name="TopTeaser" type="OpenCmsCategory" minOccurs="0" />

Tobias

Hi list,

I found a strange behavior while using the CategoryWidget in my schema.

First of all, this is how my schema looks like:

...

<xsd:element name="TopTeaser" type="OpenCmsCategory" />

...

<layout element="TopTeaser" widget="CategoryWidget" configuration="category=agencies/" />

...

<validationrules/>

...



As you can see, the element is not defined as required field.

Nevertheless, OpenCms marks this field as required (the label of the field is in red color).



The most disturbing thing is, that I can save and close the file without a further warning.

BUT, if I do not select a category in this field, the whole content is not saved.



This behavior can't be intentional. I assume, this is a bug.

Can anybody confirm this behavior or give me hint on how to solve this issue?



Thanks in advance.



Regards

Kai
