Author Topic: Custom Profiles -- how to remove a required field parameter (Read 885 times)

Hello,

Please point me to any documentation on this that I might have missed, but I have not been able to find anything yet.

I have some custom templates for a client who wants to remove the 'primary location' drop down and check box. However, now when they submit a new contact or edit a contact, they get these errors:

* The Location Type should be set if there is any location information
* One location should be marked as primary.

So I'm trying to find out how I can remove the validation on these fields? If I can't do that, can I possible set it somewhere to by default mark first location as primary so I can still hide the field?

Thanks much.

1. i assume u r using only 1 location

2. in your custom template, add a hidden field for the location type and is_primary fields and set their value. The location type rule is an artifact of the old schema and will be cleaned up when we rework the edit page (2.x?_
