KB45141: A Transaction Services Document will submit the transaction even when the option "Input is required" is enabled for a field and that field is empty in MicroStrategy Web

SYMPTOM:
In a Transaction Services document, if a field has the option "input is required" enabled, leaving that field blank still allows the document to submit/update itself, in Strategy Web 9.x.
 
STEPS TO REPRODUCE:

•  In the Strategy Tutorial project, go to Shared Reports > Strategy Platform Capabilities > Strategy Transaction Services.
• Run the Opportunity Management document.
• In Design Mode for that document, configure the transaction so that the Opportunity Size field has the option "Input is required," as shown below:
   
  

• Run the document in Express Mode.
• Erase anything in the Opportunity Size field so that it is empty and click Submit.
• Notice, the document is now updated and the pop-up for "input is required" is not shown, as shown below:
  
  

•  
  
  
  

  
  Strategy Web
  OK, opportunity was updated.

  
  
  
  

CAUSE:
This is a known issue with Strategy Web 9.x. The document should not be submitted if a required field is left blank.
 
ADDITIONAL TROUBLESHOOTING:

1. Double-check the behavior in Strategy Mobile. In Mobile, it should not allow you to update the transaction when a required field is left blank.
2. Double-check your input properties in the Configure Transaction dialog box. Try another Control Style for your Transaction Input besides Text Field and see if the issue still exists.
