class Item(BaseModel):

    description: str | None = None

items = {
    "foo": {"name": "Foo", "price": 50.2},

If you use this model as an input like here:

{* ../../docs_src/separate_openapi_schemas/tutorial001_py310.py ln[1:15] hl[14] *}

...then the `description` field will **not be required**. Because it has a default value of `None`.

### Input Model in Docs

You can confirm that in the docs, the `description` field doesn't have a **red asterisk**, it's not marked as required:
