Steps to generate problem

Select 'none' for the radio button, and enter an amount in donation field.

OUTCOME: Please select at least one membership option

I don't believe this is the right outcome and don't recall it being an issue in earlier versions but ... can't find proof of that. it is a problem on demo and is on our 4.4.7 installs too

Tim AGAIN - that commit he did was a killer 

You can't say an amount is a requirement because it could be a free membership only.

So the question is - does there have to be at least one price option selected - or is it valid that the form would wind up working like a glorified profile. I'm inclined to say the latter because I don't think it takes much to imagine use cases BUT then there wouldn't be a way to say 'the minimum acceptable amount for this form to be accepted is $0.01' - which would be a fab addition to price sets I guess.

NB based on looking at the code I think this is not an easy change & one that probably will need to be mulled over for a bit

so the conclusion here is using the Membership Block approach works for 'no membership' because that form lets us specify if 'membership is required'

but if we opt to use Price Set we are hamstrung?

Just to verify i wasn't talking from the wrong end - here is a Contrib page with Membership radio and Contribution/Donation field. It permits me so select no membership and proceed with making a donation.

I can see why we had a strong assumption that this would also work using a price set - shame we spotted it 5 mins before the public launch
