I am using the required date field.  
In the database it forces me to provide a date, as expected

Next, I also created a view on a specific date, e.g. today.

When I add a record there. It doesn’t require me to fill a specific date. It uses the date of today.Is this expected  
Behaviour?

I expect it is, when I have multiple days as filter the required field pops-up again

I need this for my intended workflow, but when it is a bug I am not going to build something based on this.

Thanks in advance

Yup! If the field can be set from the filters, is doesn’t ask for an input and just respects the filter.

If you have multiple days, it doesn’t know which one to respect and therefore asks you for an input.

Is this how you need it work? Or do you need it differently?
