I set one of my integer fields as required. When creating the record it's always populated with 0 by default, which is a valid value for our field description. But when I try and save with 0 in the field it says the field needs to be filled in.

Does Integer accept 0 as a valid value or is there a better type to use for this field?

I am having the same issue.  Is there a resolution to this?  Should a defect be written against this?

There are several work items written against this and they have been funneled to Enhancement 47827.  As of now, this enhancement does not have a due date.

I am having the same issue. Is there a resolution or workaround to this? How to deal with it?

We're thinking to create an attribute "Small string" with a regular expression validator that allow empty string and integer numbers.

Your solution sounds like it would work; I think I will try something similar.
