Hi,

Please use this PHP snippet ([How to add custom code snippets - HivePress Help Center](https://help.hivepress.io/article/23-how-to-add-custom-code-snippets)):

```auto
add_filter(
	'hivepress/v1/forms/listing_update',
	function( $form ) {
		$form['fields']['opening_hours']['required'] = true;

		return $form;
	},
	1000
);

```

​I hope this is helpful to you.

The snippet do make it required , but even after filling the opening hour field the form refuse to submit and it give an error message saying that opening hours is required
