Invalidate Phone Number Produces Required Message

[Scott Thomas]

In the Web Client, after clicking on Invalidate in the Daytime Phone field, the field turns yellow and the characters disappear. When trying to save, we receive a "Please enter valid value for all required fields" error. The record, sans phone number, does save properly. We feel that this action should not produce such an error as it does not in XUL. We are at 2.12.

Hi Scott,

I see the behavior you described, but I see the same behavior in the XUL client. See the screencast at https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B74gDMUDwDXqOWFGdUxSWmRMRDg/view.

I think the intended workflow here is that the invalidate button automatically saves the record, and staff therefore should not click Save if that is the only change made to the record. However, I didn't see any documentation on this feature, and I could be wrong.

Well, I feel a bit foolish. On our production server, "require day_phone field on patron registration" is set to False. It is set to True on the 2.12 test server. When I set it to False, the problem went away. This ain't no bug. Sorry.
