  To remove “required” from a field, edit the field the un-tick “required.” Save this field.

  I don’t know what you mean by “maintaining its nature.”

  There is no way to do that! How would the person filling in the form know that you require the field if you don’t tell them?

  If you look at the way the code can be edited in html, you will see that you have the option of either “true” or “false.”
