redirect_uri is used by the authorization_code to ensure that the (web/mobile) application requesting the authorization code is the correct one. In the client_credentials grant type it's not used because it's understood there is a direct connection between the client and server (rather than going through a user's browser) which is authenticated with a client_id and secret. This means no redirects take place and redirect_uri is not needed.
redirect_uri is currently part of a multi-value field which is always required. This means that consumers which only use the client_credentials grant type (i.e. fully machine-to-machine applications) can not be created without filling in a dummy redirect URI.
Make the field only required under the "authorization code" field group when that grant type is enabled. Similar to what happens for fields such as "Use PKCE".
