[4.x]: Validation error on save on non required fields

What happened?

Description

An issue that first appear with Neo seems to came from Craft.

If we downgrade Craft CMS from v4.1.0.2 (or v4.1.3) to v4.0.6, everything works fine. The issue appear in 4.1.0.

Nothing changed related to field validation in 4.1.0 so I’m not sure what this could be off the top of my head. If you send a database backup and Composer files to support@craftcms.com, and point out exactly where the issue is occurring, we can look into it from there.

Here's an update. I tried with a fresh database and it seem to work fine. But the issue is that starting with a fresh database is kind of not an option; the site is still in staging, but have real content added to some entries.

I'll send you the composer/old database(the one that still have the issue) if it may help us avoiding a fresh database.

Thanks. It could definitely be a bug – it just may only occur in very specific circumstances. We should be able to identify it with those files.

[jesuismaxime]

Files sent. I also include a screencast (to reproduce the issue) since most labels are in French

[brandonkelly]

Thanks! I was able to reproduce with your files. Turns out it was due to the same Libellé field being used in another context, and its required state was bleeding over into Mise en page → Section → Lien. Fixed for the next release.

[jesuismaxime]

This what I suspected, although removing all required occurrences for that field (label) didn't fix the issue locally. @brandonkelly do you have an estimate/timeframe for this release so we can update our sprints?

(Thank you again!)

[brandonkelly]

Most likely tomorrow, but you can get the fix immediately by changing your craftcms/cms requirement in composer.json to "dev-develop as 4.1.3" and running composer update.

Craft 4.1.4 is out now with that fix.
