Thanks for your help.

The Value field (Valor) is required, I need it to be optional.

Hi @srmanager

I understand you want to make the Value field optional in the add meta section of the edit order in WooCommerce. It’s important to understand that certain fields in WooCommerce are set as required by default to ensure the proper functioning of the system. However, you can make modifications to certain fields based on your specific needs.

To make the Value field optional, you would need to customize your WooCommerce setup. This can be achieved by using a plugin or adding a custom code snippet to your theme’s functions.php file.

Unfortunately, custom coding is not something we can assist with directly. However, I’ll keep this thread open for a bit to see if anyone from the community can lend a hand.

If you have any further questions on development or custom coding, don’t hesitate to reach out to some of the great resources we have available for support. Our WooCommerce community is brimming with skilled open-source developers who are active on the following channels:

Additionally, you may check the WooCommerce Admin Custom Order Fields plugin, which allows you to add fields to an order for details, notes, dates, and more.

I’ve found some resources on Google that you might find helpful. Feel free to give them a try, but remember to proceed with caution.
