Email Still mandatory although "off"

[bastiaan.c]

https://www.50fss.fitness/index.php?a=add&category=105

1- In the settings "Require email" is "off"
2- Then when trying to submit it is not validated yet because the email field is not filled in
3. If not a valid email address it als says that

Did I miss something or how Do I get rid of the complete email field. That would be even better for me
So "Hide email"

Thanks for all you do

Your email field is "required" in the HTML:

[bastiaan.c]

Got you, ...found it in the index.php
Is there a way to just disable the whole field or to let it stop checking if it is an email address format? so that I can use the field for something else?
Thanks for all you do
