# Duplicated attribute's/entity's requiredness changed to "Not required"

Asked by Andras on 2018-05-23

Dear OF Team,

Is this the intended behavior, or a bug?
In my opinion the duplicated attribute/entity should have the original requiredness setting.

Thanks!

Andras

Dear András,  
When you duplicate an attribute or an entity, the requiredness should be copied as most of the other properties.  
We will contact you to understand why in your case it didn't work.  
Many thanks,
