I'm not sure if this is what you are talking about...

This seems to indicate that the behaviour was changed only for the same Record Source.

Perhaps you are talking about the case such as an invoice entry where a required field such as DATE is not entered but the user proceeds to enter invoice items (they are accustomed to entering certain "master" data last)?

The workaround I used for that is to default any such data fields so that the "flushing" doesn't cause a problem. Then validate the data later.
