Describe the Bug

When editing a field, the "Require value to be set" option is always unchecked, regardless of its true state in directus_fields.

To Reproduce

Create a new table, then create a field with the "Require value to be set" option checked (see screenshot for table categories and field name). Save, then go back in and edit the field. The "Require value to be set" option is unchecked.

However, inspecting the field in the directus_fields table reveals that it is indeed saves as required (see second screenshot). It's merely the front end which isn't rendering the field as such.

@chrisbartley No problem! Definitely helps if you've read every issue on this repo at least once (I have an unfair advantage when it comes to finding duplicates 😉 )
