Bug in FieldtypePassword

[didhavn]

Hey all.

I just came across a potential error in the FieldtypePassword.

I have a password field added to some templates to protect the pages. However, whenever I want to save a page, I get the error of "required fiield missing"...that the password field is required and missing. But, the field is not set to required.

Can anybody confirm that and/or has a solution?

Best, Lukas

I think password fields are required regardless of whether the "required" checkbox is checked or not. You'll notice that the system "pass" field doesn't have required checked.

You should be able to get around this though with this in your admin.php

$this->wire()->addHookBefore('InputfieldPassword::processInput', null, function($event) {
    $event->object->required = false;
});

You will probably want to limit it to your custom password field though, rather than all password fields.

Thanks a lot, I'll give it a try !
