Hi EE3 Support,
When the user registers for an event. We want certain fields to be required, however in the backend when we manually want to add attendees we don’t want some of the required fields for the front-end to be required in the backend. How can we achieve this?
Thanks

Hi, that is not available as an option in the WP dashboard as the validation runs for both areas in Event Espresso.

Hello,
If a question is required on the front-end, it will also be required on the admin/WP Dashboard.

Hi, I left out a word in my prior reply. It is not available since the validation runs for the front-end (public registration) and the WP dashboard.

Is there any way to accomplish this with hooks and filters in a way that is future friendly?

Hi,
There’s no built in way to do it with EE based hooks and filters.
You could create a plugin that fires some JavaScript on the Add New Attendee page that finds the specific question input fields and removes the “required” class. That will trick the system into not validating the field.
It’s a hacky solution but it could work for your needs.

Hi Dean,
Thanks for verifying how I thought this would be accomplished. Thanks again for your help!
