1130650 - REST /field/bug resource returns incorrect values for is_mandatory

Status: NEW

(Bugzilla :: WebService, defect)

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_10_2) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/40.0.2214.111 Safari/537.36

Steps to reproduce:

When using /field/bug REST API to request all files on the https://landfill.bugzilla.org/bugzilla-tip test site the op_sys field is not marked as mandatory. However attempting to create a new bug without the op_sys field populated fails with the message: "You must select/enter a OS."

Result of /field/bug:
{
      "is_mandatory": false,
      "name": "op_sys",
      "values": [...]
}

It seems that the is_mandatory field is not set correctly for all fields which are mandatory.

You need to set defaultopsys to a value using editparams.cgi which will get rid of this error.

The bug I am reporting is that the /field/bug API returns "is_mandatory": false, but the field is actually mandatory. /field/bug should return "is_mandatory": true for this field (and the other mandatory fields).

Confirmed. is_mandatory remains false even when defaultopsys is null.
