Asterisk on eMail when Not Required was created by Malinthas
In my Group Member Fields for all of my events, I have made eMail optional (set the radio button to "No" under "Require"). This has been done both in the general configuration and in the individual events. However, the red asterisk (*) indicating it is a required field still appears. This disconcerts my users, since many of the registrants are young children, and do not have addresses to enter.
I checked the functionality, and while the forms do allow you to progress without entering an address into the field, there is no way for the average end-user to know that; they are simply choosing not to attend my event. I have tried re-saving the event after reversing and resetting the setting; no effect. Changing the auto-reminder setting for the event also has no effect. Repeated refreshes likewise useless. This is distressting, and I am losing attendees for my fundraiser. How can I get the form to accept the component's settings? Thanks,

Never mind; I figured this one out on my own.
