    Default Text not required

    Hi

    I have set up two text boxes one I need to be required for order details the other I need to be optional, not required. But no matter how I try I can't get the optional box to be 'not required', I have tried every combination in the attributes manager, when you click add to cart it needs user input.

    Am I missing something? Or is there a problem with my setup.

    Any help would be appreciated.

    Regards

    Mike

    I'm getting User Input Required errors on both boxes even when I enter text in both. Can you switch temporarily to the Classic template and try it ?

    Default Re: Text not required

    Hi

    I've solved it, but don't know how it happened.

    I checked to see if the text areas were display only, which in the attribute manager they weren't. I then decided to check my database and noticed an attribute id35 which was set to display only, I changed this from 1 to 0 and everything is fine.

    On checking the attribute manager in the 3 products I've got none of the attributes has an id of 35?

    I did have one other product which I attached attributes to but I deleleted it, could this be a remnant from that?

    As I said solved, but a mystery.

    Thanks

    Mike

    On that attribute id of 35, did the products_id match any of your products?

    Where there any other attributes that had the Display Only set that you could see via phpMyAdmin?

    Hi

    The product id it matched was id2, which is the link above.

    No other attributes were set to display only.

    I've attached 2 images to explain easier
