# State appear optional

 * I’ve set the “State” field as Required in Woo Checkout Manager, but it still 
   appears as Optional on the checkout page.
 * I’ve already cleared the cache and confirmed that the setting is saved correctly,
   but the label still shows “(optional)” beside the field.
 * Could you please help check if this is a known issue or if there’s a conflict
   with WooCommerce or the theme?
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fstate-appear-optional%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)

 * [@xhasbix](https://wordpress.org/support/users/xhasbix/) That behavior depends
   on the country selected — in some countries the “State” field is required, while
   in others it’s optional. This configuration comes directly from WooCommerce’s
   default settings, not from our plugin. WooCommerce automatically determines whether
   the field is marked as “required” or “optional” based on the country rules predefined
   in its core.
   Best regards.

 * But why does the state go back to ‘required’ instead of ‘optional’ when I deactivate
   this plugin?
