Unable to make a column NOT required for a content type
We have SharePoint 2007. In one of our lists, under content type a user has unchecked one of the columns so it is NOT REQUIRED. However when we go to upload a document the RED Asterix still shows beside the field as though it were required. The TYPE for the column is set to CHOICE and there is NO checkmark in the REQUIRED column area, and the User has been able to do this in the past. Has anyone else see this type of issue? Is there something that needs to be run to force the change to show up? Any of the Admins can make the change and it works.

Hi, Just make sure you are using default edit form, if you are using custom list form on edit page (added using SharePoint designer) then this scenario is possible. To remove "required mark (*)" in case of custom list form, open the page in SharePoint designer and remove the mark (*). In case there are multiple content types, also check that column is marked "not required" in content type used for uploading the document. Hope this helps. Regards.
