Description:
------------
I thought this might be a useful option to have in
formbuilder rather than having any no NULL field always
show a "this field required" rule when auto generating
forms.

Reproduce code:
---------------
Add in public vars section:

* Add a reuired flag to no NULL fileds in thhe form -
* if set to true, the fields will
* have a required flag.
*
* @access public
* @see
*/

Add in function generateForm (around line 1290):

if ($this->addRequiredRule == TRUE) {
//ADD REQURED RULE FOR NOT_NULL FIELDS
if ((!in_array($key, $keys) || $this->hidePrimaryKey == false)
&& ($notNull)
&& !in_array($key, $elements_to_freeze)
&& !($type & DB_DATAOBJECT_BOOL)) {
$this->_setFormElementRequired($form, $key);
}
}

In your DO code you can turn it back on for all non-null fields by setting the variable to TRUE or else use the $form->addRule for specific fields. It works for me at least.

The first section cutoff my variable. It should read:
* Add a required flag to not NULL fileds in thhe form -
* if set to true, the fields will
* have a required flag.
*
* @access public
* @see
*/

var $addRequiredRule = FALSE;
