--- Comment #17 from Christopher Brannon <cbrannon at cdalibrary.org> ---
I'm not seeing this point here, so I will just add to the mix.  It DOES seem
like it is currently a side-effect.  The one problem with implementing this is
that it is based off field names, and those names vary, depending on whether
some of the patron attributes are used for all libraries.  This can cause
problems with those libraries that don't use a certain attribute, as it offsets
the attribute names.

I haven't tested, but this could also be complicated by those attributes that
allow more than one instance of the field.

Seems like a mandatory setting that can stick to the specific field would be
better than trying to make it mandatory through the field name.

I would suggest that the mandatory option be unavailable to those fields that
can be duplicated, or only make the first instance mandatory?  Just some
thoughts.
