Description

Currently the QuerySelect is rendered into two different ways on a form:

with required set to true an Option.EMPTY_OPTION is add on the option's list
with required set to false the first option is rendered

I have a form with a lot of QuerySelect and some are mandatory and some are optional with the same options, so I modified the QuerySelect adding a new optional flag with his setter and getter methods:

protected boolean optional;

a new constructor

public QuerySelect(String name, boolean required, boolean optional)

{ super(name, required); this.setOptional(optional); }

and on the loadOptionList() method

if (!isRequired() && isOptional())

{ getOptionList().add(Option.EMPTY_OPTION); }

Probably the right place where to put this is on the Field class, but this modification cover my needs.
