I dont understand the sense of mandatory for a boolean field

Hi community,

as you can see on my topic. For example, I describe an entity, which have boolean fields, which have to be mandatory.
When I open the create browser, I can “check” this field for the boolean or not, but it make no change if I save it. I can let it unchecked or checked. It would be same like I have an boolean field, which is not mandatory, because if I not check this field, it means automatically that the mandatory condition is ok, because I set the value like “false”.

So I hope you understand, what I want to say, I dont understand, what is the sense of mandatory for a boolean property, if I can check/uncheck this value and safe this instance like one, without a mandatory property of boolean, there would be no differences as I see.

Thanks

Hey!

Boolean can be true, false and null. If boolean field is mandatory then default value is false, otherwise null.

In other words, mandatory boolean attribute can be either false or true, but never null.
