“Type” is a different validator than “required”.
coldbox\system\validation\validators\RequiredValidator.cfc
coldbox\system\validation\validators\TypeValidator.cfc
The type is not what’s failing, it’s the required one. I suggested in the ticket returning true if the value is complex and not null. I’m not sure what other issues may exist though like lazy loading of composite entities.
Thanks!
