Posted on by AR-01101314-0 14
Currently struggling, I do not have the options to make an input optional directly. Only to delete the input
 
 
 
Is there some way I can edit the code so i can removes certain inputs from the required section ?

    Hi
     
    Are you referring to Inputs only? you cannot make an item Optional is ones behind/after it are required.
     
    So you can drag them to the bottom, then set them as optional. Then drag another (above the first) make it optional and so forth.
     
    Just remember it has to be BELOW all other required and above any optional before you can make it optional.. And then if you want to delete it go for it.

    What if I just wanted to make them all optional then ? Because what you have suggested does not work, I can't move them.
     
     
    And yes the inputs/variables I have in my parameters.
