Issue Description

When developing a Dify plugin, I set credentials_for_provider as an optional field in the schema. However, the Dify platform still forces users to fill in an API Key before the plugin can be enabled.

Schema Config:

credentials_for_provider: #Add credentials_for_provider field
  VIS_REQUEST_SERVER:
    type: text-input
    required: false
    label:
      en_US: VIS_REQUEST_SERVER (AntV Visualization Chart provides a free chart generation service by default. For users with a need for private deployment, they can try using `VIS_REQUEST_SERVER` to customize their own chart generation service)
      zh_Hans: VIS_REQUEST_SERVER（AntV 可视化图表默认提供免费图表生成服务。对于需要私有部署的用户，可以尝试使用 `VIS_REQUEST_SERVER` 自定义自己的图表生成服务）
    placeholder:
      en_US: Please input your VIS_REQUEST_SERVER.
      zh_Hans: 请输入你的 VIS_REQUEST_SERVER。

Dify Plugin usage:

Expected behavior

If credentials_for_provider is declared optional, the API Key input should also become optional so that the plugin can be used without being blocked.
