Optional Varaible showing as Mandatory in Portal (Urgent)

[Former Member]

Hi Friends..

I have a situation. I am using Division as Free Characterstic and need to restrict Division by one Optional Entry variable.

The propeties of the Vvariable are as follows:

Type of the variable: Characteristic Value

Variable name: ZSODIV01

Desc: Division (Optional)

Procssing By: User Entry / Default Value

Varaible Represents: Multiple Single Values

Variable entry is: Optional

Ready for Input is checked.

I want to restrict Division by this variable and same time want to Exclude # (Unassigned). if I use varaible only with out exclusion #, its showing as optional Variable, But If I use both restrictuions it showing as mandatory variable. any idea why this is happening? or how to correct it?

Thanks in advance.
