remove short description validation in backend when adding / editing products

Question

I upgraded a store from version 1.3 to version 1.5 and noticed that the short description field when adding / editing a product is mandatory (which was not for version 1.3).

Could I know which file to edit to remove the validation on the short description field?

Answer 1

You should be able to go to Catalog > Attributes > Manage Attributes, search for the Attribute Code short_description, click on the row, change Value Required to No.
