Issue that the hotfix package fixes

This hotfix fixes the following issue that is not previously documented in a Microsoft Knowledge Base article:

Consider the following scenario:

•	You create a site content type in Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007.
•	You add a column to the site content type from an existing site column that is set to a non-required column.
•	You set the newly added site column as a required column.
•	You create a new document library.
•	You use the newly created site content type in the document library.

In this scenario, you can still save a document in the document library even if the required column does not contain information.
