Make form elements not required and customize validation filters

By default all FSQM elements are set to be required. While this provides a consistent way to validate and require all elements, it might not be what you want for your form. Changing it is very easy.

#1: Locate the settings:

1. Click on the cog ( ) icon on any element.
2. Scroll down to the settings panel until you see Customize Validation section.

#2: Change the required validation:

1. Scroll until you see Compulsory settings.
2. Make it yes (default) to make the element required or no to make it not required.

#3: Change other filters:

Depending on the element, you might see some other validation filters too.

1. Minimum Selected Checkboxes: Number of checkboxes user should select (at minimum).
2. Maximum Selected Checkboxes: Number of checkboxes user could select (at maximum).
3. Input Filter: Type of text user should enter.
4. Minimum Size: The length of text user should enter (at minimum).
5. Maximum Size: The length of text user could enter (at maximum).

That’s all. Do keep in mind that not all elements have all of the filters available and some elements come with predefined filters (like Phone Number, Email etc).
