[support] Chicken/Egg Problem with CCK Field Permissions

[Fred Jones]

We have a site with the content_permissions module. Some users can't
therefore access some fields. Now the content manager writes:

> If an item has required data fields that are not populated with values, then that item cannot be deleted until those required values are populated. This arises in the case that a required field is not visible to the user who created the item due to permissions.  So do you know of a way to suppress the requirement that all required fields be populated before an item can be deleted?

I myself do not have an answer to this, but it sounds like a good
question to me. :)

Any ideas?

Thanks.
