It's only required

Tech Tip of the Day: So you are filling out a form and you try to submit it or save it...and it doesn't let you!! The nerve!!! That message saying that a field is required doesn't apply to you. Obviously.

Nearly all web forms, or applications have fields that are required to be completed before you can move to the next screen or submit the information. Those fields usually have some kind of indicator, such as being bold, Having an asterisk(*) next to them, or the field be highlighted in another color. If you try to submit the form without these fields completed, then it's not going to allow you. If you expect your IT professional to be able to help you complete the form without the required fields, you're going to be disappointed. We do not have a magic button that we can circumvent an application or web form's programming.
