Resolution

There are other levels of adding this requirement in some field inside of a MDF object.

You have set the field "Required" as "No" in the "Object Definition" page, but in the "Manage Configuration UI" this field is set as required, so this means that when saving the configuration, the system will not allow to save without an attachment.

Please make changes in the Manage Configuration UI page to resolve this issue.
