I keep running into this issue where I add a new required field to the CRM and then suddenly all of my Zaps that create records in that module throw a bunch of errors and Zapier disables them. 

This is exceptionally frustrating. These fields are typically dependent fields and are not relevant to the records being processed through the Zap. The CRM does not require them to create the record and yet Zapier insists on enforcing them. I am the admin of the CRM; I should get to decide whether or not a particular field requirement is enforced or not. 

Is there any way around this? Ideally, I’d prefer a solution that avoids populating dummy values into these fields, as that creates unnecessary data messiness in the CRM. However, if that is unavoidable, is there any way to set a blanket rule that says if a missing require field error pops up, the value should always be “X”? 

And then lastly, if neither option is possible, how can I set up an automated alert that will notify me if this specific error occurs? Not a global “send me alerts when errors exist,” but a customized alert that lets me know when a zap is encountering missing required field errors?
