Required textarea field in empty field collection throws error when form saved [#1979104]

I have a field collection on a form (seen below). The field collection itself is not required.

I have a textarea field within that field collection. When I submit the form with an empty field collection, I get a required field form validation error. The two select fields at the top do not generate an error.

I have the same problem too, I need required field inside the field collection, but I need also that the field collection itself is not required.
So I could use it or not when I edit the node who use the field collection...

How can we pass the validation if we do not feed all the fields of the first "field collection" zone displayed by default ?

it would be good if we could choose to add or not this default "field collection" in the form's node.
