Hi all,

I don't seem to have what it takes to figure out how to successfully require a file type field in a profile:

I created a custom field with field type = file and required = Y.
I created a profile to be used for both profile and search results.
I added the file field to the profile and, again, set required = Y.
I had no trouble uploading a file with the profile, however,
when I try to edit the contact with the profile, the input for the field is empty (the profile does correctly display the link to the file and to delete it). That doesn't bother me, but
if I Submit the profile without deleting the old and uploading a new file, I get a is a required field error.

That's a simple example that would be useless in practice, but I'd like users to be able to edit other fields in the profile without getting this error.

TIA for any suggestions.
