Many of our products have options that are "required" to custom make them once ordered. In the "Editing Options" screen of a new or existing option, there is a check box for "Required". I assumed that if this box was checked, the customer could not add it to their cart if the field was left blank.
In the 0 (zero) position I have entered the name, "Select colour". If the name field is left blank, the entire line is omitted from list of options. It seems that if "Select colour" is left by the customer, CS Cart sees it as the "Required" field being filled and allows the item to be added to the cart.
How does one use the 'Required' option but leave the customer to fill in the blank?
We're using V4.3.1
It sounds like you understand it correctly. If the required checkbox is checked, then all types except checkboxes must have values. That doesn't validate the values, it only verifies that it's not empty. Not quite following your description of the problem given I have no idea what your setup looks like.
If you're using a custom theme, then if you're having issues, it could be a theme issue.

What type of option do you use. For the Selectbox the system should create new variant automatically (called "Please, select one")
We are using a selection box in most of our variants. I've attached a screen shot of our variants. I don't see anywhere that the system has created a new variant automatically (called "Please, select one"). Could it be specified somewhere other than in the Option screens?
The theme is named Summit. It's a responsive theme from cscarttemplates.com
We have been experiencing other issues, most notably, a seriously too high online shipping quote being fed back from UPS. I think all of these could be resolved with an upgrade to a more current versions (now running 4.3.1). Any thoughts on a newer, proven stable, version? There are some comments on the latest Captcha security being unable to turn off and causing grief for the customer.
Here's the screen shot of the options

New variants is not displayed in the admin panel, but added in the store-front automatically

I suggest latest version - 4.9.2sp3. It contains HTTP2 fixes and recaptcha works correctly
