Field-input-required? what's that

[anderson]

Another dumb question, but I have to ask:

For example, Edit Field: body ->input->required: If checked, a value will be required for this field.

What's it about?  I did some test: I create a test field of text, then a test template, then a page. I switch test field "required", nothing changes. So it's not what I guessed.

This means, that this field is mandatory on a page that uses this field. So you can not save the page until the required field is filled, else you would get an error message.

Oh, I see. Thank you very much, sir.
