Non-Project Code functionality breaks when 'validating segments' of the Project ID

Hello,

We are new install and working through our implementation.  Have come across an issue that I’m hoping folks on this forum may be able to help with.

As soon as we setup Segmented Key for our Project ID, and had 3 of the 4 segments turned on for validation (ie…  only certain values can be used in that segment); now our ‘Non-Project’ code we setup in preferences no longer works?

Is this a product defect/bug?

As soon as I turn the validation off in the segmented keys, the non-project functionality works again.  I realize that I can make a ‘dummy’ project that follows the segmented values setup, but that kind of defeats the purpose of this functionality to begin with.

Anyone else run into this issue?  Perhaps there is a hot fix to address this?  

Thanks, Lars
