    Now try this Store -> Configuration -> Customer Configuration Tab -> Name and Address Options -> Show Telephone Required just set No and save it. – Ravindrasinh Zala Oct 23 '17 at 10:27

There is a Magento2 feature that is by default telephone field is required. There is a lot of discussion on below topic:

https://github.com/magento/magento2/issues/1691

There is also a suggestion on this topic that we can make it optional by running SQL script

update eav_attribute set is_required=0 where attribute_code='telephone';

Read full topic and then run the query.

Note: Take a backup of DB before making any change.

After run query check eav_attribute table and make sure attribute column value changed to is_required to 0.enter image description here

Run reindex command for attributes only

php bin/magento indexer:reindex catalog_product_attribute

and delete all cache and static files, compile and regenerate code by below command

php bin/magento setup:di:compile
php bin/magento setup:static-content:deploy

Hope this will help you.

  • did you reindex?since you have changed attribute hence you will require fully reindex and then clear all cache. – akgola Oct 23 '17 at 12:39
  • Now I have done reindexing. But still same issue exist – jassi Oct 23 '17 at 12:48

I followed the steps in the answer by akgola, except instead of following the step:

php bin/magento indexer:reindex catalog_product_attribute

I instead ran

php bin/magento indexer:reindex customer_grid

and this worked for me. It is a customer and not product attribute being updated, so that is probably why that answer isn't working for others?
