Issue/Introduction

When you create a new investment object instance from Template, like a Project or a Custom Investment object instance, that has a rule to require a value for an OBS attribute, it is possible to create a new instance without any value if the OBS attribute has a default value set in Studio and if the originating template does not have any value.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Create an OBS (e.g.: 'My OBS') and associate it to any investment object (e.g.: Project, Custom Investment...).
2. Add an API attribute ID to the OBS attribute in that object and a default value.
3. Edit a Blueprint for that object.
4. Add a new Rule:
   
   1. Rule Type: View Page
   2. Conditions: Always True
   3. Actions: Required Attributes: My OBS
5. Add the attribute in the Create Template dialog.
6. Publish the rule.
7. Make any object instance with empty 'My OBS' attribute a 'Template'.
8. Change the Blueprint of that instance to the previous one. When prompted, do not add a value to 'My OBS' (click Cancel).
9. Click on New from Template button.
10. Fill in all the required attributes except the 'My OBS' attribute.

Expected Results: Create button is grayed out.

Actual Results: Create button is enabled and you can create a new object instance. It will not have a value for My OBS as the original template did not have any.
