Mandatory settings does it work ?...

i just tried to make a few profile fields not mandatory on join form and it looks like it's not working it's a two page join form i also tried it on one page join form with the same results :(  can anyone confirm this

Did you check the advanced settings where the min and max required length is specified. Set min to 0.

no but i'll give it a go now and see if it works but why do we have the mandatory check box then :(

That check box in most cases just turns on or off the red star.  I know, it's stupid. It was discussed in another forum somewhere. I think.

setting it to 0 seems to work

thx deano92964 :)

Mandatory does make the red star appear, however you can inadvertantly make something mandatory by placing a minimum length required for input.  So even though headline and description are not mandatory, they will throw errors because you didn't set they minimal length to 0.
