    Hi Long,

    I am making a temporary "save draft" button using the wp update function. The problem I am facing is if they have not completed the required fields, it will not save as draft. The required fields only matter when its submitted, and the point of saving as draft is to work on required fields at a later point. Is there a way to bypass this and save as draft even if required fills have not been completed?

    Many thanks,
    Yasmine

    Hi Yasmine,

    You can set the attribute formnovalidate to the submit button or trigger a JS code to remove the attribute required of the field. Please read more on this topic https://stackoverflow.com/questions/18725078/bypass-html-required-attribute-when-submitting
