  • If the star is on a field within a heading it is only needed if you fill out the fields on the same line

    Note: the star is not on the heading, but only on two fields that either both are empty or both filled. I haven't seen the difference until @fenekku pointed it out to me.
  1. The removal would might also affect this issue: Getting a DOI minted on the deposit page can be difficult #1407
  • Case A: "Also, it will complain again about the seemingly required list fields (dates, alternate identifiers, related works)."
