[TYPO3] Make BE field required with TS

[Lucas Birk]

Hi Søren,

Thanks for the tip about quixplorer..I did not have access 
tca.php...until now!
It worked perfectly with the exception that 'default' => '0' had to be 
'default' => '' otherwise it did not recognize that the form field was 
empty!
I still wonder if its possible with pageTS to set this....editing source 
files can become a problem if someone updates the ext.

Regards,
Lucas.
