Yes indeed, i had to fix it through the module. Sorry that I wasn't clear on that part. Likely this should be changed to be a bug in the module interface since the frontend shouldn't have to know too much about what's allowed or not in the fields, the module should give the frontend error messages accordingly, but I hadn't had the time to look up if that's possible to differentiate.
