Sharepoint metadata and Word

I have a sharepoint library with several columns for metadata. These are NOT mandatory fields. BUT when i edit the document Word seems to think they are mandatory. Anyone seen this?

      jcgonzalezmartin first screenshot from word - second from sharepoint

       

      Steps to reproduce

      1. add custom SP property to document

      2. fill in anything in field 

      3. remove "anything" from field

      4. observe field error message

        A temp fix is to go to properties in word and add and remove text from the field until the red warning box goes away.
