Why does a multiple choice field with log entries enabled not retain it's value when record is edited?
I'm confused about the behavior of multiple choice fields when log entries are enabled and the field is required.
When I begin editing a record that includes this type of multiple choice field, it loses it's current value when entering edit mode. So if the user edits the record with the intention of making some other change, they are then told when saving that they failed to enter a value in the multiple choice field.
This does not make any sense to me. Is there a workaround?
Also, it seems very broken that reports and filters automatically include the log entries. Also, basing formulas on such a field will break unless a shadow field is created that parses out the real value (i.e. excluding the history).
