If you define a field as requeried it's required. Because
the form widget validation calls it's own form validation
AND the field validation.

This means it's not possible to store None values
for a field which are required without quirks.

Note:
required=True in fields allows you to define
what the missing_value is. You can store empty strings
on such fields if you define missing_value=None.

Then a empty string should not end in missing input.
Beacuse it compares "if value = field.missing_value".
