Mandatory Image not validating after first time failure

[jawood1]

Which exact Umbraco version are you using? For example: 8.13.1 - don't just write v8

8.16

Bug summary

I initially started getting this issue most recently on an existing install that I had upgraded from 8.14.1 to 8.16 with a slight difference in the outcome to a fresh installation.

On upgrade I could no longer save and publish the page if the the image field was mandatory even and I applied an image before the validation error occurred.

I then thought to test this using a fresh install of Umbraco 8.16 to see if it was just me or a bug.

On the fresh install when I added a mandatory image field then saved and published without an image I got the validation error. Once I added the image it wouldn't allow me to save without refreshing the page.

Specifics

I've tested this on the latest versions of Firefox and Chrome.

Looking in the console logs on initial save without the image I get a 400 error. Once the image is added it won't allow me to save and no further logs are produced.

Steps to reproduce

1. Save and Publish the page without an image field being filled

2. Add an image, Validation error isn't cleared and the page won't save.

Expected result / actual result

Once the image is added for the page to save.

Hiya @jawood1

Thanks for reporting this. I'll take a look and reproduce and tag. If it's regression, which I suspect given your report, I'll label it as such and we'll look at cherry picking the solution. I'll let you know what happens!

Thanks @jawood1 - we'll have to have a look, I can reproduce. The workaround for now is to Save first and then Save & Publish, then it will indeed work properly.
