I added customer field in Toolset and I entered in some text. When I delete the text and hit save on the post, it won't allow me to leave an empty value and it just replaces it with what was there before. If I change the text to something else, like "a" it will save the "a" but I don't have a way to make the field empty after saving it with content in there. Is this a bug or a setting somewhere?

Hi,

Thank you for contacting us and I'd be happy to assist.

Can you please make sure that you're using the latest version of Toolset plugins? There was an issue with saving the empty field values, but it has been fixed in the latest release of Types 3.4.7.

Also, please go to the fields settings at WP Admin -> Toolset -> Custom Fields and see if that customer field is set as required? With the required option checked, that field will always require a non-empty value.

regards,
Waqar
