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

[Tobias Karrer]

Ok - I thought about your sentence "the element is not defined as 
required field"...

I haven't stated a validation rule either and get the error message. But 
I can't save and close until a categroy is chosen.

And with ADE I got the problem, when creating a new detail page, the 
category select box is not visible so I can't select any value.
When trying to save, the error message and the selectbox appears.
(I think this is the according Github issue, but the screenshot got lost 
when the issue was transferred from the old bugtracker: 
https://github.com/alkacon/opencms-core/issues/36)

Maybe there's some relation.

Best,
Tobias
