This is by design. It makes no sense to import everything the user sends into the object, because it might be intended for a different object, and might be a security risk. You can easily set the fields you expect, however.

2. The matches rules appears to ignore empty fields

You didn't set the field to required. (Note: there was a typo on that page that said 'related' not 'required' before just now.)

I think error needs to pre-populate non-db fields from the validation rules the same as db-fields;

This would be impossible. There are an infinite number of possible words that might not have an error.


The form and array extensions are designed mostly to work with database fields. Of course, the form library can handle printing non-database fields. You just need to process them manually.
