File Field "Required" not working

[Soma]

I set up a field with .mp3 files to upload. I've set it to "required" in field input settings. But if I create a new page and save it without uploading a file, there's no error message shown. Bug, or am I doing something wrong?

Required is not supported by most fields at present. So you only see the option if you've got the $config->advanced turned on. It's best to leave $config->advanced turned off, because it's easy to break things with it on and there are some things shown where support is inconsistent. That advanced setting is really meant for when we're developing or adding features to PW, and it's troublesome otherwise. Though we will be having full 'required' support for all fieldtypes soon, perhaps in 2.2, and at that time the 'required' option will show up without advanced mode being on.
