    Hi John,

    Thanks for reaching out to Jotform Support. I understand that you want to hide the required icon of hidden fields. I have cloned your form and tested it on my end. I have noticed there are hidden widget fields below and above question 5. You can delete these fields, and asterisks will not appear. Let's walk through this together.

    1. In the Form Builder, click on the space above the question with number 5.
    2. Next, click on the Trash Icon next to the hidden widget field to remove it.
    3. Finally, click on the space next to question 5 and delete it using the Trash icon.
