# Breaking: #67098 - Correct required-parameter in TextfieldViewHelper {#breaking-67098}

See [forge#67098](https://forge.typo3.org/issues/67098)

## Description {#description}

The value comparison of the required parameter has been corrected. Prior to this
change, a textfield was required as soon as it had a parameter "required" set to
any value even if this value was set to FALSE, the textfield was still required.

## Impact {#impact}

Textfields with required="FALSE" are not required any longer.

## Affected Installations {#affected-installations}

Every installation that uses the textfield view helper with the required attribute.

## Migration {#migration}

No migration is necessary.
