1. Create field.
2. Enforce mandatory on database.
3. Duplicate field (I copied to another database).

The new field gets added to all related forms and cannot be turned off. The database doesn’t show it as required. Changing it to required, saving, then changing it back does not remove it from being required field on all forms.

Similar behavior when deleting and restoring a field

We have been trying to reproduce the issues but have no luck so far.  
Can I ask you guys to record a short video clip with actual setup, steps and this buggy behaviour?

I mispoke, sorry. To me the issue was just the fact than when restoring, it doesn’t restore as required. Not the buggy behaviour with forms. Also couldn’t replicate @AdVhPkgKad’s experience.

I can’t replicate it either. I don’t know if there’s something missing from what I documented, but duplicating the field this time didn’t cause the same issue.
