This was realy annoying.

LP 7.4.3 GA 101 - BND and @Meta Deprecations and @Meta.OCD()

2023-11-20T15:02:19Z

A few months ago David H Nebinger published a blog article with the title BND and @Meta Deprecations - you can find it here.

The post is very helpful but it does not consider a critical problem of the configuration interface.

If you use the "required = true" property even for just one @Meta.AD() you can no longer find the configuration values in the various portlets or services of the application.

@Meta.AD(     deflt = "",     name = "some.configuration.field",     description = "some.configuration.field.desc",     required = true,     type = Meta.Type.String ) public String someConfigurationField();

The "required = true" element breaks the configuration.

Only "required = false" can be used.

I confirm this issue in LP 7.4.3 GA 101.

Can anyone else confirm they found this issue?

In my opinion this is a critical issue in the Liferay configuration framework and perhaps warrants opening a JIRA Ticket.
