Adding an optional tag?

    Hi,

    I’m wondering if it’s possible to add an optional tag in the contact form?

    We’re using it for a wedding RSVP and I’d like to allow guests to request a song, so have a space for them to do so…but right now they have to enter something or it won’t send.

    Ideally I’d like to make this optional, so for those who don’t want to, they can still send the form.

    Is there any way to do this?

    Thanks.

    Thanks for the reply. Yes, I got that, but when I add the form and don’t write anything in that one space, it won’t send it.

    It says ‘please fill in the required fields’

    and I get

    Validation errors occurred. Please confirm the fields and submit it again.

    Is there any way to make that field optional so if they don’t fill it out, they can still send the form?

    Hi Shannon,

    You should be able to remove the “required” element of any form field by removing the asterisk from code that you copy and paste it into the form.

    For example,

    [text* text-298] Is a text field that is required
    [text text-298] Is a text field that is not required

    Another example would be the date field

    [date* date-52] Is required
    [date date-52] Is not required

    Hopefully that does the trick.

    Best,

    Mike
