Unable to save 1st element of custom base enum with enum value of 0 in non mandatory table field.

Posted on by Mav

Hello folks,

I created a custom base enum with 3 elements with  enum value as

0 for element 1 ( label None),

1 for element 2 (label Internal) and

2 for element 3(label external)  and using this custom enum in custom field F1 in a OOB table extension and it is non mandatory.

I am facing a weird issue ,which is that when I am trying to save the value of F1 with element 1 I get warning "Field "myField" must be filled in.".

However when I try to save the value of F1 with other elements like 2 or 3 , it works fine. Even when I change the enum value of 0 to 3 for element 1 (None) it works fine.

I need this to be fixed, i.e. should be able to save element 1 with enum value of 0, as by default table will have 0 stored in sql db for all recs and changing enum value from 0 to 3 would mean lot of data manipulation which is negative from feasibility perspective. 

Please share a fix asap.

Thanks in advance.

Mav.

    Hi Mav, Please confirm that this field is not mandatory at form level. I have tested adding same enum & values in a custom table and no issues. There might be customization or property setup to validate it.
