Reusable Widget - Error with parameter - can not add optional parameter

Question

I am trying to create a reusable widget. But if I am OK to set up all the parameters, I do not want to make all of them mandatory. I just want to use 4 or 5 parameters. The other ones will be optional. I have done some research and try to add [] on the optional parameter, but I am getting an error.

ERROR: The parameter 'parametersValidate' can't have a value of 'null' because of its type, but the implicit default value is 'null'.

If you could help me fixing this it would be appreciated.

class TextFormFieldWidget extends StatefulWidget {

   String hintText;
   Widget prefixIcon;
   String defaultText;
   TextInputType textInputType;
   FocusNode focusNode;
   bool obscureText;
   TextEditingController controller;
   Function functionValidate;
   String parametersValidate;
   TextInputAction actionKeyboard;
   Function onSubmitField;
   Function onFieldTap;

    TextFormFieldWidget(

        this.hintText,
        this.textInputType,
        this.controller,
        [this.parametersValidate],
        this.onSubmitField,
        this.onFieldTap,
        this.defaultText,

      {Key? key,
        required this.actionKeyboard,
        required this.prefixIcon,
        required this.focusNode,
        required this.obscureText,
        required this.functionValidate,
      }
      ) : super(key: key);

Try the following code:

class TextFormFieldWidget extends StatefulWidget {

   String hintText;
   Widget? prefixIcon;
   String? defaultText;
   TextInputType? textInputType;
   FocusNode? focusNode;
   bool? obscureText;
   TextEditingController controller;
   Function? functionValidate;
   String? parametersValidate;
   TextInputAction? actionKeyboard;
   Function onSubmitField;
   Function? onFieldTap;

    TextFormFieldWidget({
        Key? key,
        required this.hintText,
        this.textInputType,
        required this.controller,
        this.parametersValidate,
        required this.onSubmitField,
        this.onFieldTap,
        this.defaultText,
        this.actionKeyboard,
        this.prefixIcon,
        this.focusNode,
        this.obscureText,
        this.functionValidate,
      }) : super(key: key);
