Possible email validation bug in Sugar 7

Question

There appears to be an email validation bug in SugarCRM 7.5.0.1. I have not tested with any other version.

This issue manifests itself whenever the programmer sets the email in the Contacts create-actions.js

For example, this.model.set('email', 'test@example.com'); will trigger the problem.

Even though the field has been set into the model, and appears in the form, it will be impossible to submit the form. The form believes that there is no primary email set, although there clearly is.

Can anybody replicate this issue?

Hello,

Try utilizing the following:

this.model.set('email', [{email_address: "email@example.com", primary_address: true}]);

This sets the 'email' field's array values as follows:

The Email Address value is 'email@example.com'
The Primary Address value is checked.

You can add the other values if need be using the following name value pairings:

invalid_email: true (or false)
opt_out: true (or false)

Although the UI shows that Primary Address is selected when using the code you presented, it is not being sent via the REST v10 API as either true or false, causing the issue you ran into.
