Symptoms

Trying to make a descriptive flexfield segment required by using personalizations to modify a form item property (required=TRUE) but the field does not become required. Instead, when applying the personalization, the form errors with

ERROR:
FRM-41014: Cannot set attribute of null canvas item TASKS.ATTRIBUTE4

-- Steps To Reproduce:
Create one or more flexfields for the service request form CSXSRISR:
Application: Service
Title: Additional Information for Agents

Switch to the service request form.
Click on Help -> Diagnostics -> Custom Code -> Personalize
Create a new entry for level Form and enable it.
Condition:
Trigger Event: WHEN-NEW-ITEM-INSTANCE
Trigger Object: INCIDENT_TRACKING.STATUS_CODE
Condition: :INCIDENT_TRACKING.STATUS_CODE LIKE '4 %'
(for this example we have status code 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6,...)

Actions:
New entry for type Property
Object Type: Item
Target Object: INCIDENT_TRACKING.INCIDENT_ATTRIBUTE_4
Prpoerty Name: REQUIRED
Value: FALSE


Change the status to 4 and check the flexfield once more. Now it should be required but it isn't
