Description

No check avoid to define a user without home.

If "Use the default home directory:" is set to false, it's possible to let empty "Home directory, if not default (optional):"

Nevertheless, the promise will not be able to create the user:

If I understand, the issue is that we can in the form set Use the default home directory to false, and not fill Home directory, if not default (optional) ?
It's a limitation of the form in Rudder, and that can't be solved in 2.3,2.4 or 2.5

However, we can, in the technique, check if the variable is define, and fail earlier in the execution.
Is that what you expected ?

You're right. This is the problem
