I’m using the following to capture an email address:
email = await input.textAsync(‘Please enter email’);
I want the input to be optional, but the “Next” button only becomes enabled when you type something in -the field. Is there a way to make the field non-mandatory or is this a bug?

If you’re familiar with how Promises work in javascript, there is a workaround for this (although not perfect). I’m going to publish an example later today that uses this workaround. Stay tuned…

Fab! (I’m more of a c# /c++ programmer with limited javascript knowledge!)

Could you please show this workaround? I’m not very friendly with js (also c++ programmer) but I will do my best to learn js for working with airtable

Welcome to the Airtable community!
A quick and dirty workaround is to have the user enter a single space if they don’t want to answer. Then have your code take it from there.
