All we need is for this patch to be applied to PatternSkin and this will be none. 2 lines changed :). (Patch attached)

Probably best to do same for classic.

The reason this simple change has not been implemented before is that you cannot direclty save a topic with a form that has a required field - the field value is not copied automatically. I think this would require a new request: CopyFieldValuesOnSave? .

Saving a topic with required fields appears to have been fixed. Filed in Bugs:Item3831.
