Environment information

• CiviCRM: 5.41.0, Master. This used to work seems to have changed somewhere between 5.36.1 and 5.41.0

Comments

• The field saves correctly if not 'required'.
• The field saves correctly if displayed as 'Tab' or 'Tab with Table'. Problem occurs only when both 'Required' and 'Inline'.
