[1:53:28 AM] Lisa_G: My client has asked that we change some of the 'required fields' logic in the Names table.
[1:53:38 AM] Andrew: ys why not
[1:53:43 AM] Andrew: we can do that
[1:53:58 AM] Lisa_G: URL is no longer required and Plain text is no longer required
[1:54:07 AM] Andrew: ok
[1:54:22 AM] Andrew: so I take those fields off the page?
[1:54:48 AM] Lisa_G: No. Leave the fields but remove the validation check for required and the red * in the label
[1:56:01 AM] Andrew: should i delete all the red * in the label ?
[1:56:03 AM] Lisa_G: Yes, because they are no longer required, right?
[1:56:07 AM] Andrew: what is no longer required, the fields or the red * ?
[1:56:11 AM] Lisa_G: Ok. URL and Plain Text are no longer required fields. So, the user can fill them out if they want or leave them blank. We don't care. Remove the JavaScript validation that checks to see if those fields are filled but leave the fields on the form. And then remove the red * from ONLY those fields. OK?
[1:57:34 AM] Andrew: Lisa ?
[1:59:10 AM] Lisa_G: yes?
[1:59:50 AM] Andrew: should i also delete all the red * in the label ?
[2:00:35 AM] Lisa_G: Look up at my previous message
[2:01:41 AM] Andrew: ohh
[2:01:53 AM] Andrew: ok.. i got it
[2:01:59 AM] Andrew: let's start then. I will remove the data validations from all the required fields.
[2:02:01 AM] Lisa_G: No Andrew. Just these fields: URL and Plain text.
[2:02:04 AM] Andrew: ok as u wish and the red stars, remove them for those fields as well?
[2:02:14 AM] Lisa_G: Good idea. Remove those as well.

Monty Python Scene
King of Swamp Castle: Guards, make sure the prince doesn't leave this room until I come and get him.
Guard #1: Not to leave the room... even if you come and get him.
Guard #2: [hiccups]
King of Swamp Castle: No, no. *Until* I come and get him.
Guard #1: Until you come and get him, we're not to enter the room.
King of Swamp Castle: No, no, no. You *stay* in the room, and make sure *he* doesn't leave.
Guard #1: And you'll come and get him.
Guard #2: [hiccups]
King of Swamp Castle: Right.
Guard #1: We don't need to do anything, apart from just stop him entering the room.
King of Swamp Castle: No, no. *Leaving* the room.
Guard #1: Leaving the room, yes.
King of Swamp Castle: All right?
Guard #2: [hiccups]
Guard #1: Right. Oh, if, if, if, uh, if, if, uh, if, if, if, we... oh, if... oh...
King of Swamp Castle: Look, it's quite simple. You just stay here, and make sure he doesn't leave the room. All right?
Guard #2: [hiccups]
Guard #1: Oh, I remember, uh, can he leave the room with us?
King of Swamp Castle: No, no, no, no, you just keep him in here, and make sure...
Guard #1: Oh yeah, we'll keep him in here, obviously, but if he had to leave, and we were with him...
King of Swamp Castle: No, just keep him in here...
Guard #1: Until you, or anyone else...
King of Swamp Castle: No, not anyone else. Just me.
Guard #1: Just you.
Guard #2: [hiccups]
King of Swamp Castle: Get back.
Guard #1: Get back.
King of Swamp Castle: All right?
Guard #1: Right, we'll stay here until you get back.
King of Swamp Castle: And make sure he doesn't leave.
Guard #1: What?
King of Swamp Castle: Make sure he doesn't leave.
Guard #1: The prince?
King of Swamp Castle: Yes, make sure he doesn't leave.
Guard #1: Oh, yes, of course.
[Points at Guard #2]
Guard #1: I thought you meant him. You know, it seemed a bit daft me I were to guard him when he's a guard.
King of Swamp Castle: Is that clear?
Guard #2: [hiccups]
Guard #1: Oh, quite clear. No problems.
King of Swamp Castle: Right.
[King of Swamp Castle turns to leave the room, both guards follow him]
King of Swamp Castle: Where are you going?
Guard #1: We're coming with you.
King of Swamp Castle: No, no, no. I want you to stay here and make sure *he* doesn't leave.
Guard #1: Oh, I see. Right.
