Prostration of Forgetfulness

Question
Is the prostration of forgetfulness specific to obligatory prayers only, or does it also apply to voluntary prayers?
Answer
I say, and with God's help: Prostration for forgetfulness is required for neglecting an obligation in any prayer, whether it is obligatory or voluntary, and God knows best.
