Issue Summary
I am missing something, and don't know how to make this field non-required. Help?
Comments
#1
are you able to edit the date field? it might have been created as a locked field. in -dev i believe i've made it unlocked so you can edit it. if your's is locked i'll need to give you a php snippet to fix it.
#2
Either it's locked, or I just don't know exactly what I'm doing.
#3
Yeah if you can't edit it it's locked. I think I need an update to get them all on the same page.
#4
I am really stuck on this one, and I can't even find out where to start. This issue itself is in the top 3 results for "drupal locked fields". Any suggestions of where to start are welcome.
#5
ah, basically it'll be a matter of an update function that calls content_fields() for each of the fields changes the 'locked' property and then calls content_field_instance_update().
#6
Was that a "I will write an update function" or "If you want this to work, learn how to write an update function"?
I don't mean it in an impatient way, I just wasn't sure if I was supposed to be figuring this out myself.

initially i was intending to write it but based on your question i though you might have been offering to take it on ;)
#8
to be honest, i just started taking classes for the summer, and i'm not sure that i'd actually get it done. sorry for the confusion.
#9
After looking into this further, it seems that I misunderstood the issue. It's not a locked field issue because the data isn't in CCK fields to begin with, they're stored in
station_catalog. No wonder I couldn't figure this out.#10
