Textarea giving error if not filled in even though set to Required = False

I have a textarea that is set to Required = False, but when nothing is entered, it throws an error that at least 1 character is required. Writeable and Readable are both set to True.

What is the specific error message? Do you get it in the UI or console logs?
Do you have a script task following this user task?
You may need to do input sanitization in your code, something like:

def comments = informationOwnerComments.toString().trim()

if (comments) {
	commentApi.addComment(AddCommentRequest.builder()
		.baseResourceId(item.id)
		.baseResourceType(ResourceType.Asset)
		.content(comments)
		.build())
}

Otherwise, you are trying to create a comment with a 0-length comment, which Collibra might reasonably complain about.
