Information Collectors with required fields problem

We have a form with elements as information collectors and some elements are required.

We need to create an object for this class in order to fill in some elements such as names, phone numbers etc. When that object/node is viewed we use {attribute_view_gui} to display the input fields. {attribute_edit_gui} seems to give the same result...

Our problem arises when we come to publish the object, the form rightly demands some text for those elements that are required. However, the elements are those we want to display as being blank to the user.

Currently we have entered a space to get round this but is there another way of publishing an object intended to be used as an information collector without filling in required fields?

Thanks

Paul

Yes, this is a bit of a problem and way to fix it?

This is not working properly now. We will fix this so that the required information collectors will require the content input from the user ( on collecting of information) rather than on object creation like it is now.

Thanks Bård, I'll look out for it in SVN.

What is the status on this? I'm just running into this problem now. A little validation on information collection would be great.
