Custom Field "Required" status - Toggleable?

When viewing the list of custom fields, you can click the "Published" status icon to toggle the status. On the "Required" column just to the left - should we be able to change the status from required to not required by clicking the check mark or X ? I was not able to - I had to edit each field and change the desired Required status.

Hi Danny

Due to some technical issues (added some javascript validation to custom field), we could not implement this feature in version 1.6.5.

We are working on it and make it possible to change it directly by clicking on the icon in the next release. For now, please edit the custom field to change the status from there.

Yep, that's what I did - I didn't have too many to update so it wasn't a problem. I just didn't know if it was by design or a bug so was reporting it just in case. Since it's a known issue, I'm good.

Yes Danny. It should be in the extension soon. Please wait for us, more to come .

One more thing about required fields: Previously, the required fields would show a red asterisk after the label in the registration form, this is not happening now.

That sounds like a CSS issue - all of my required fields show a red *

Are you on 1.6.5? This worked for me on previous version. the new structure has changed

In previous versions, at least with 1.5.3, there was a class 'required' applied to the label
<tr>
<td class="title_cell" width="30%">
First name
<span class="required">*</span>
</td>

In version 1.6.5 the class "control-group" is applied to both required and not required fields (I have configured first name as required and organization as not required)

<div id="field_first_name" class="control-group">
<div class="control-label">First Name *</div>
<div class="controls">
</div>
<div id="field_last_name" class="control-group">
<div id="field_organization" class="control-group">
<div class="control-label">Organization</div>

For now I just added an * to the labels, but it does not seem to me as a CSS issue

Hi

That's not correct. When the field is a required field, the system will has something like this in the code :

<span class="star">*</span> and it will be showed in red

Not sure why it doesn't work like that on your site. Maybe submit a support ticket sending us information of your site so that I can check to see what's wrong and get it corrected for you.

Hi,

That works for fields like username and password if you allow registration and to select payment. but it does not seem to work for custom fields. I will submit a ticket anyway
