Web View Issue

Issue Report: Has Web View Validation Error After Removing is_published

Description

When editing a DocType in Frappe and unchecking Has Web View, the is_published / Is Published Field configuration remains validated even after the corresponding field has been deleted from the DocType.

As a result, saving the DocType throws the following error:

Message
Is Published Field must be a valid fieldname

Steps to Reproduce

1. Open any DocType that has Has Web View enabled.
2. Ensure the DocType has an is_published field configured as the Is Published Field.
3. Uncheck Has Web View.
4. Delete the is_published field from the DocType.
5. Save the DocType.

Actual Result

The DocType fails to save with:

Message
Is Published Field must be a valid fieldname

This occurs even though:

• Has Web View is unchecked.
• The is_published field has been deleted.
• The Is Published Field configuration is not relevant when Web View is disabled.
• The Is Published Field field/configuration may be invisible in the UI, but its value is still being validated during save.

Expected Result

When Has Web View is unchecked, Frappe should not validate the Is Published Field configuration.

Alternatively, when Has Web View is disabled, Frappe should automatically clear/reset the Is Published Field value, allowing the DocType to be saved after the is_published field is removed.

Error

Is Published Field must be a valid fieldname

Additional Observation

The validation appears to be performed regardless of whether the Is Published Field configuration is visible in the DocType form. This can prevent saving a DocType after disabling Web View and removing the associated is_published field.
