SOLVED: [Woo] Removed checkout field is still required and causes an error at checkout

Bugs

Bricks Version: 1.5.4

I removed some billing fields from the ‘Checkout customer details’ element but when I test the checkout I get a ‘required field’ error for the ‘phone’ field.

Am I doing something wrong? I can’t find any mention of this on the forums so I assume it’s an issue on my end?

Hi,
Welcome to the forum, and thanks so much for your report!

I think the problem is that the field is removed but still required. WooCommerce determines which fields are required by default. Please have a look here and test the filter:

Thanks timmse,

I actually went ahead already and removed the required flag in my function.php and it worked.

It would be nice if Bricks did this automatically when a field is removed if that functionality is possible since it’s only logical that a field not included on a form should be outright ignored.

Thanks for checking! Yes, that’s exactly what I think too :slight_smile: I added it to our to-do list.
