This is driving me crazy!!
I have a very simple page with checkbox and textfield (start_date__c) if the checkbox is checked then the textfield is required so far so good no problem, the start_date__c is required field.
Screen shot 1 Without check:
Screen shot 2 Checked:
But when I submit the page without is Present checked then i'm getting this error:
Start Date required field is missing
I do not have validation rule that specific field but my question is why is it complaining when the required field is = false
in the visualforce page
<apex:inputField value="{!employee__c.Start_Date__c}" required="false"/>
