Identifier	#5735
Issue type	Minor issue (breaks specific functionality)
Title	Improper handling of missing field types
Status	Completed
Handling member	PDStig
Version	11 alpha2
Addon	core_fields
Description	When a requested field hook is missing, we should be defaulting to short_text. Instead, we bailed out on error when trying to create an object factory on an object that does not exist (and also bailing on error trying to require the missing field hook file). This fix applies a try/catch on the object factory test so errors are ignored and the software falls back to short_text as it should.

A hotfix (a TAR of files to upload) has been uploaded to this issue. These files are made to the latest intra-version state (i.e. may roll in earlier fixes too if made to the same files) - so only upload files newer than what you have already. If there are files in a hot-fix that you don't have then they probably relate to addons that you don't have installed and should be skipped. Always take backups of files you are replacing or keep a copy of the manual installer for your version, and only apply fixes you need. These hotfixes are not necessarily reliable or well supported. Not sure how to extract TAR files to your Windows computer? Try 7-zip (http://www.7-zip.org/).
