Does HIDING (collapsing) a SECTION also turn off all REQUIRED fields

    Does HIDING (collapsing) a SECTION also turn off all REQUIRED fields within that section?
    In other words, If a checkbox has Required * as default status, will closing the Section remove this required default since the User would not see or have access to the checkbox in the closed section?

    Greetings!

    Yes, you are correct. If the field is hidden, no matter if it's required, the form will still submit given that all shown required fields are filled.

    Here's a demo:
