Jira says field is required - I disagree!

So, on a screen in a transition a user is being told that several fields need to be completed, but that they are not present on the screen. In this case it reads:

Bullet Point 1 is required. But it is not present on screen.

Firstly bullet point 1 is not a required field - when I do add this field to the relevant screen it is not marked with a red asterisk as being required, yet still asks for content in that field when I press 'submit'.

Curious - any insights?

Thanks

You can add validators in the workflow. Screens are actually pretty much irrelevant when it comes to mandatory/optional settings.

The giveaway is the missing red * when you do add it to the screen. If there's no *, then it's not the field configuration setting it mandatory, it's a validator in the workflow.
