Subsidiary field, mandatory but optional?
I'm using the "one-world" addon (multiple subsidaries with consolidated parent company) and noticed that the 'subsidiary' field on forms is not behaving like other fields.
When customising a form (e.g. contact form) you have the option to tick/untick the mandatory checkbox (by default it's not ticked) but the form ignores the setting. By default, if it's showing then it's mandatory and if you hide it then it's no longer mandatory. IMHO this is odd. I would expect this field to always be mandatory, otherwise how do I know which subsidiaries the record will be assigned to? The default value seems to be the consolidated parent company but I've not found any official documentation that says this.
