Zapier Tables Optional Field Attribute

I have just started working with Zapier Tables. I am pulling input data from a dynamic Wufoo form. 

Is there a way to change the Field attribute from ‘Required’ to ‘Optional’. I will be using a standard form to populate the Zapier Table, but not all of the fields that I need will be provided by each person. For example, the form might be used by a Homeowner or a Tenant. So, the ‘Type’ of applicant field will need to be a ‘Required’ field, but the Landlord Name field should be an ‘Optional’ field because it won’t always have data in that field.

I hope that makes sense!

Hi ​@TCWindsor 

Help link about field rules in Wufoo: https://help.surveymonkey.com/en/wufoo/build/field-rules/

For us to have more info, post screenshots where you are trying to make a field required/optional.

The Field Rules in Wufoo are not the issue, they are correct, it’s the field attributes in Zapier Tables that is causing the problem.

A Zapier Tables field itself can’t be made required in the table.

For a Zapier Tables field, there are field settings that are required depending on the field type. (e.g. Name, Type, Alignment, etc.)

If you use a Zapier Tables Interface with a Form that is connected to a Zapier Table, then you can use the Zapier Interface Form settings to make specific fields required when collecting data.

Thank you Troy. I think that I misunderstood something. I have edited the Table and Zap this morning and all seems to be working. Thank you again
