Can't make Duration field mandatory

[tlock]

I have a duration field on a form that has the flag set for it to be mandatory, that's not the problem.   The problem is when the form is loaded up, the duration field sections get populated with zeros and SN then sees the zeros as data having been entered into the field, so the mandatory flag gets greyed out right away.   Here's what the duration field looks like right after the form has finished loading:

Any ideas on how to get around this?

I tried setting the default values for the duration field sections to be NULL in the dictionary attributes for the field, but that didn't work.   I know that I could do an onSubmit script to check for all zeros on the duration field, but I would rather not have to do it that way.   To me, this seems like a flaw in the way that SN has set the duration field type to function with it loading zeros in this way.

Thanks

I don't see any problem in my case. I set mandatory on dictionary entry (no scripts)

How are you making mandatory of that duration field?

I have mine set as mandatory probably the same way as you, the Mandatory checkbox on the dictionary entry for the field.

It happens if you have a default value to zero. Just check if you any default value and clear the default value field

1. With default value

This is what I got

2. With this default value

I got this. But when I click on the form space it shows as mandatory

See if this is same as you case
