GraphQL: @ApiProperty(required=false) does not work

In my Entity, I have a property:

/**
 * @var int The account balance
 *
 * @ORM\Column(type="integer")
 * @ApiProperty(required=false)
 * @Assert\Type(type="integer")
 */
private $balance = 0;

I want this property to be optional in my GraphQL query, but not in database.

So I added the required=false attributes, but it doesn’t work.

So this is still an issue? Is there at least a workaround? For example I am trying to add a property to an entity that does not need to persist to the db at all. But it’s still a required field for graphql. At least when creating. when updating this does not seam to be a problem (since the values already exist and just get rehydrated into the entity already).

I am using a boolean with a default, which also should be a case where the GraphQL input is not required.

    /**
     * @ORM\Column(type="boolean",  options={"default": false})
     */
