Unable to save due to email field is set to required

Hello, I'm experiencing the same issue.

When a field is marked as required and the configuration is saved, any attempt to add, remove, or update custom fields afterward becomes impossible.

I’ve recorded a short video demonstrating the problem:

I have the same issue, and I just updated to Meta Box AIO 3.2.0 as well, I cannot save my Field group because of required text in the right when editing a Meta Box Field group

Hello,

I've received a report from a user which is similar to this issue. It happens when you set the conditional logic which is not available in the current field group. Can you please remove the conditional logic and recheck this?

If you need to keep working with custom fields while the HTML5 validation issue is being fixed, you can temporarily disable validation by running this JavaScript snippet in your browser console before saving your changes:

document.querySelectorAll('form').forEach(form => {
  form.noValidate = true;
  form.querySelectorAll('[required]').forEach(el => el.removeAttribute('required'));
});

This will allow form submissions without HTML5 validation blocking the save action.

@Konstantinos: That is a thoughtful contribution and temporary solution, thank you. But in my case I can just enter anything in the fields it nags me about, such as 0, and then it lets me save. The 0 or whatever value I enter would not be saved in the database or anywhere I have seen so far, therefore that is how I am dealing with it until the next update: just enter anything and click save and move on until I have to edit it again.

Any update on this? It's painful having to write text in all required fields before saving...

Thanks Peter

Hello Peter,

No it's not, and I have Meta Box AIO 3.3.1: https://markuphero.com/share/FrogME1X9oP2LRdxKqQ6

I clear all site / cache data and I cannot update the Field Group if I have required fields: https://markuphero.com/share/YIdF16VCJfbZushKc9qC
