Error: You are not allowed to change the value of attribute Required for the field vendor of this object.

1. Navigate to > Work Order object definition
2. Click on the details of the field "vendor"
3. Change the attribute > Required = No
4. Save > Error occurs
5. Error: You are not allowed to change the value of attribute Required for the field vendor of this object.

This is by design. The field "vendor" is a mandatory field by default in the Work Order object and it cannot be set to Required=No, Visibility=Not Visible/Read Only even with a business rule. 

To verify the feasibility of having this included in a future version of the system, please submit an enhancement request by following the instructions available in the article linked to this incident.
