When adding a Field API Date field (for a Date of Birth), the clientside_validation doesn't work if no date is being entered ("required" validation).

I notice the same thing is happening in the demo here:
http://validation7.ubu001.attiks.com/examplesform?utm_medium=atix&utm_so...

Am I missing something, or is this a bug?

On that page there's always a date filled in, so can you provide some more details.
Is this in a node/edit, webform, custom form?

I tried this with a field on a node, but it renders without the * and after submitting it returns an error "A valid date is required for date." but I assume they changed something, to be continued ...

Screenshot is if you select required and no default value:

I you specify a default value (i selected now), you'll get this

Yeah the demo example is indeed already filled in. Didn't notice that, my bad :)

I have indeed a date field (granularity year - month - day) that has no default values.
It renders exactly as your screenshot in #2.

Date moves the #required to the parent element, but that isn't really the right way to handle it, see #301538: Date field does not use #required to mark required date fields

This has to be fixed by the date module, sorry :/
