How Do I Disable A Field?

Hi, everyone.
I was playing with a copy of the ZombieDev WP engine and added a field.
(Meaning, I left the Z WP engine alone and made no changes, but then made a copy, and was messing with that copy of the original Z WP engine file!)
At first, I set to the very first field I was playing with :| to:
must be filled=1
but then the field appeared on projects not even using that engine. (unchecked)
Now I have a field that won't go away.
I removed
must be filled=1
in the modified engine I'm playing with
but the issue persists.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you.

    Hello @Deeeeeeee

    This field should not appear if the engine is not selected, can you add a code snippet or screenshot?

    OK. To be a bit clearer, what I'm getting is the pop-up when trying to Save changes in any Project.

    The pop-up says Please enter 'tag'.

    That was the field I was playing around with, and I quickly took off the must be filled parameter.

    Like I said, now every project is prompting me to fill in this field. Usually, I know a field disappears when a particular engine using that field is not checked.  In this case, it's still prompting even when that project is unchecked. And, I also took that line out of the engine.

    Yes, I see, have you tried disabling all engines and see if that input tag is still there?

    OK...When I deselect all engines, I can exit and save the project without the prompt.

    Once I re-select the engines (excluding the one I was working with that uses 'Tag') the field comes back.

    :anguished:

    If you mouse over the 'Help' word to the right of 'Tag', does it give a tooltip saying 'Used in:' with a list of engines?

    If I've used these engines in the past, why didn't I have to enter data for them for the 'tag' field?

    Right click in the field , select remove engines that use this

    @Royalmice: Thank you for the suggestion.

    I don't really want to disable any of those other engines, though.

    The thing is, before adding that test engine that had the Tag field I added with the note that the field must not be empty, this is happening.

    Prior to this, none of these engines prompted me for a tag. But I guess Projects with those engines active should have been?

    I will just add tags as needed.

    "TAG" is an internal macro thing based on either keyword or anchor text (depending on settings). So you better not define it at all.

    @Sven, what should I do?
    I made the error of using the field "tag" in the engine and the require note. :flushed:
    I didn't even get too far with the engines bc of this! 
    I can't close projects with all those engines I use without defining Tag.
    I don't want to disable Tag.
    Is this a bug in SER?
    Any help would be much appreciated.

    Thank you.

    Deeeeeeeeeeee

    P.S. I deleted the experimental engine and all seems well. Will update.

    Thank you Sven and everyone else for help.
