It makes sense to me and I will report this feature request to the team.

Thanks guys for the insight!

X-Cart has had this feature for a long time... but javascript was required.

Now, there are situations where there is a default product, and the options are optional - but in the case of apparel, "what color do you want" should not be a default.

At the very least, this should be an setting for the merchant, and not require javascript.

The type of product will determine if the customer should be FORCED to select an option or not. For example, the poor man's configurator:

default item: computer with 4gb ram; option +$100, 8gb ram; option +$150 16gb ram

So in this case, the default version would be acceptable, maybe.

The design of your software should permit the merchant to determine of they want to force the option validation or not.
