Column People Picker Required

Question

I would like to know how I can set the "people picker" field to be non-required.

I tried to use advanced settings to set non-required but it isn't worked. Someone know how to fix it?

Edit column and uncheck "Requirement that this column contains information". Would this fix the issue? Also have a try to change a browser or clean browser cache if the issue persists.
