      Description

      Create a new Feedback activity
      Add and save a new multichoice question, making it required
      Click the pen-in-hand icon to edit the question
      Uncheck the "Required" box and save changes

      The question should no longer be required, but it still is.

      The problem affects all question types that can be required.

      To fix the problem use 'advcheckbox' instead of 'checkbox' so that an unchecked box will submit a zero. I will post patches for all versions shortly.
