Description

1.) Open a connection to a LDAP directory server
2.) Browse to some entry within you directory
3.) Create an entry with the objectclass 'person' and just set the required attributes cn & sn
4.) Open the newly created entry in the LDAP browser
5.) In the entry browser right click on any value of the attribute 'objectClass'. Choose 'New Value'.
6.) In the Object Class Editor which just opened, choose 'uidObject'. Press OK.

Apache Directory Studio will try to add the new value for 'objectClass' w/o prompting for a value for the additonally required attribute 'uid' and fail with the error:
"Error while creating value
[LDAP: error code 65 - object class 'uidObject' requires attribute 'uid']
[LDAP: error code 65 - object class 'uidObject' requires attribute 'uid']"

The same problem occurs when trying to change the objectclass from one structural class to another class requiring at least on additional attibute.

I believe this is a (minor) bug issue, not just improvement.

But thanks for the Apache Directory Studio - it is really great.
