# Required / Optional asterisks

 * Hi
 * We have “Name Title Prefix” set as optional globally, but within our donation
   forms the ‘Title’ field is marked with a red asterisk, denoting a required field.
   It’s visible even if we change the specific form settings for Title Prefix to“
   Optional” instead of “Global”.
 * While it’s perfectly possible to proceed through the form without entering a 
   value into the Title field, we’d ideally like the asterisk to not be there for
   this optional field. Have we missed something and can we remove this asterisk
   somehow?
 * Also, regarding the Gift Aid form fields. Address Line 2 is denoted as a required
   field with a red asterisk. For many UK addresses, donors will have no information
   to provide for this field, and so may discard their donation not knowing what
   information to provide into what appears to be a required field. Is there a way
   we can remove the asterisk from “Address Line 2” on the Gift Aid form field? 
   Again, it’s possible to proceed through the form without entering information
   into this field, but for clarity sake we’d love for the asterisk to not be there.
 * Thanks

 * Hi [@mattschofield](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mattschofield/)
 * I’m very glad you reached out here. I was just able to replicate the first issue
   that you mention here, where an optional title field still has the asterisk. 
   In my tests, if you disable the floating labels option, the asterisk goes away,
   so that’s a workaround for that issue while the team works on fixing it for the
   floating labels option.
 * You can follow along with the development team’s fix for that here: [https://github.com/impress-org/givewp/issues/4510](https://github.com/impress-org/givewp/issues/4510)
 * For the other issue, we are not allowed to support or discuss premium add-ons
   here on this forum, by forum rules. please do reach out with more detail at [https://givewp.com/priority-support](https://givewp.com/priority-support)
   and we’ll be happy to look into that.
