Ah, you didn't say you were using FormBuilder. By default FormBuilder makes all NOT NULL fields required. If you remove the NOT NULL constraint from the columns and regenerate your schema this will go away. There's also a feature in CVS for FormBuilder called excludeFromAutoRules. This can be set to an array of element names or '__ALL__', which excludes all elements from auto-rules. > > Justin Patrin wrote: > On Fri, 18 Mar 2005 12:25:26 -0800, Rob Barreca <rob@electronicinsight.com> > wrote: > I know you can use addRule to require items with QuickForm, but is there a > > place to set the default as optional?
