This is the expected behaviour. Why would you want to save a form with invalid data? Also please remember that any plugin can be enabled directly from the plugin manager.

when I move the demo site to the actual domain and decided not to use google Recaptcha then I encounter this. to close that window (screenshot) your need to input any character just to close it; even the plugin is disabled.

ah I think I see your use case. please confirm if my understanding is correct.

You have a site with captcha keys setup and then you want to disable captcha AND remove reference to those keys?

yes; right.. i tested in J3 it works fine.

I can not confirm that. The behaviour in j3 is identical

It can't really be fixed whilst it is a required field

okay... I am just sharing my experience for J4. thanks..

Thank you it is appreciated

So the issue shall be closed as expected behavior?

Yes I would say so. The only other option would be to have a default value for the two fields set to something like 00000000000 but then that defeats the purpose of it being a required field

Closing as expected behavior. Details see previous comments. Feel free to re-open if you don't agree.
