Thank you Massimo!
the problem is that every time you don't insert any value in the field a null string is validated (i.e. ""). As I can see from code[1] it seams to me the validator expects any kind of value and if it's not a list/tuple it insert into a list and validate it. Another problem is that[2] if the result of the operation str(item).strip() is evaluated as False any validation is applied... so there's no way to oblige the user not to pass a null value (i.e. to insert any value). Could it be ehough to remove the line 2520[2]? Why it has been introduced?
