I have a lookup column in my sharepoint where the required information is turn on , but when I try to change the required information it is not showing the option

Could anyone please let me know how to turn off the required information

Hi @Danny_Dicaprio ,

The column you're looking at is not actually the primary lookup column - it's a derived field from the lookup.

To try and explain, your primary lookup column is likely to be "Cause". In that column's configuration, "Impact" has been selected as another column from the same row to return information from, but based on the primary lookup being the "Cause" column value.

The "required" property talks to an input value field - as in, a value is required as input. The column you're looking at isn't an input value, it's something that's returned based on the input value, which is in the Cause column.

If you go to the "Cause" column properties, you'll see the option for making it required or not.

[Edit: if you want to change the impact column's required property, you need to go to the list where it's located and change it there - you can't change it from another list where it's only being returned based on a lookup]

Hope this makes sense,
