Change field to Not required

[klewis10367]

Is there a way to change a required field to a non required field in GP 7.5. I have attempted to do this in Forms Modifier but the setting for the field I am trying to change always changes back to True when saved.

If a field is marked as required it is typically a key field in the database that must have information in it for other parts of the system to use.

You could look into extender as an alternative, it allows you to add your own fields/windows to the product and use them as you wish.

With the Modifier, it is not possible to change a required field to be not required or not editable.

It is possible with Dexterity as an alternate window, but then your code should ensure that the field is populated.... as it is required.
