"required: false" is not working for object(images) and lists

Netlify CMS

#1

Hi, I work with Netlify CMS + eleventy.
I added a page to the CMS, it contains lists, object like images, I used required, so if we don;'t need images, or other part of the list, then we have an option not to add it. I can’t share the whole project here, as it’s private. I will attach a screenshot.
With “required:false” I was expecting object and lists not to be required to add.
