When a Mailchimp field is required in the Mailchimp account the merge field still displays "N" in the WP admin

[MaxwellGarceau]

Describe the bug

The "Required?" column in the Mailchimp admin should display "Y" when a merge tag is required. Instead, it always displays "N".

Mailchimp account

Mailchimp WP Admin

Note: The FE required labels are working

Steps to Reproduce

1. Log into the test user Mailchimp account and set all of the merge fields to required
2. Log into the WordPress site -> navigate to the Mailchimp settings page -> Click "Update List" to refresh the Mailchimp data
3. Navigate down to the merge field tags section. All of the values in the "Required?" column will still be "N"

Explanation for error

Caused in the views/setup_page.php file. The $mv_var['required'] field is a string. However, the strict equality check is failing because the comparison is with an int of 1.

wordpress/views/setup_page.php

Line 303 in 0b93ec3

<td><?php echo esc_html( ( 1 === $mv_var['required'] ) ? 'Y' : 'N' ); ?></td>

Solution

Fixed by add intval to $mv_var['required'].
