   | _`display_name: str`_      | Defines the name of the field.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                              |
   | _`advanced: bool`_         | Hide the field in the canvas view (displayed component settings only). Useful when a field is for advanced users.                                                                                                                                                           |
   | _`password: bool`_         | To mask the input text. Useful to hide sensitive text (e.g. API keys).                                                                                                                                                                                                      |
-  | _`required: bool`_         | Forces the field to be required. Only use this if type hints are not enough to indicate that the field is required.                                                                                                                                                        |
+  | _`required: bool`_         | This is determined automatically but can be used to override the default behavior.                                                                                                                                                                                         |
   | _`info: str`_              | Adds a tooltip to the field.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                |
   | _`file_types: List[str]`_  | This is a requirement if the _`field_type`_ is _file_. Defines which file types will be accepted. For example, _json_, _yaml_ or _yml_.                                                                                                                                     |
   | _`range_spec: langflow.field_typing.RangeSpec`_ | This is a requirement if the _`field_type`_ is _`float`_. Defines the range of values accepted and the step size. If none is defined, the default is _`[-1, 1, 0.1]`_.                                                                                 |
