The validation rule map is not correctly created by Scout SDK for replaced form fields if the rule's value evaluates to false or null.

Example (simplified):

BaseForm:
public class NameField extends AbstractStringField {
  @Override
  protected boolean getConfiguredMandatory() {
    return true;
  }
}

Creates the following rule map in the form field data
  @Override
  protected void initValidationRules(java.util.Map<String, Object> ruleMap) {
    super.initValidationRules(ruleMap);
    ruleMap.put(ValidationRule.MANDATORY, true);
  }

ExtendedForm extends BaseForm:
@Replace
public class NameExField extends BaseForm.MainBox.GroupBox.NameField {
  @Override
  protected boolean getConfiguredMandatory() {
    return false;
  }
}

The rule map in the extended form field data is empty, but it should have the following contents:
  @Override
  protected void initValidationRules(java.util.Map<String, Object> ruleMap) {
    super.initValidationRules(ruleMap);
    ruleMap.remove(ValidationRule.MANDATORY);
  }
  
Note: Whenever a overridden rule evaluates to false or null, it is removed from the rule map. In all other cases, the rule is overridden with its new value.
