description |
General required text fields can be set as empty string via the webservice API, however the same thing can't be done via the usual web UI forms.
This is a consistency problem and sometimes can also cause UI problem (lack of page title or main header).
The root cause of this is possibly some code in formlib treating empty strings in the same way it would treat missing form values, maybe it makes sense it its context (or even is HTTP/1.1 compliant) however it is out of the scope of the Field declaration, which is what get reused by our REST implementation. |

We have overly weak validators on the involved model objects (and this is perhaps systemic - one way to fix would be to change the defaults for 'String(null=False)' to actually mean 'String(null=False, validator=lambda x:len(x) > 0)' |
