Accessory minimum quantity field now mandatory and zero always triggers warning

[tsfuchs]

Describe the bug

Since one of the latest updates, the “Minimum Quantity” field for accessories is mandatory. Leaving it blank produces a validation error, and entering 0 still fires a “Below minimum quantity” warning as soon as stock hits zero.

To Reproduce

1. Go to Accessories → Add New (or Edit an existing accessory)
2. Leave Minimum Quantity blank and click Save
   • You get a validation error: “This field is required.”
3. Enter 0 as minimum and set current stock to 0
   • A warning badge appears: “Below minimum quantity”

Expected behavior

• “Minimum Quantity” should be optional (blank = no minimum).
• If set to zero, stock = 0 should not produce a warning badge.
  In many use cases obsolete or intentionally un-reordered accessories need no restock alert.

Additional context

In older versions the field was optional. This regression complicates operations when obsolete or rarely used accessories don’t require restocking alerts, forcing users to maintain meaningless minimum values.

I would also like for this to be optional.

I've encounter this problem also. Solved with updating Snipe-IT. It seems that this was solved from v8.1.0. i use v8.1.3

Yes, it does indeed look like the behavior has changed. So I guess the bug is fixed now. Thanks!
