How can you ensure that an attribute is required when an entity is governed?

To ensure that an attribute is required when an entity is governed, adjusting the data model by selecting the required check box for the corresponding field is a fundamental approach. This action directly modifies the data model, establishing a mandatory requirement for that particular attribute at the data structure level. When this checkbox is selected, it enforces that users must provide a value for the attribute before the entity can be processed or saved, thereby maintaining data integrity.

Additionally, implementing a custom validation on the corresponding field offers a more flexible and potentially complex method to enforce that requirement. This allows for tailored conditions that can go beyond simple presence checks, incorporating specific logic to determine whether the attribute value meets necessary criteria based on business rules or validation requirements.

Together, these strategies (the checkbox selection and the custom validation) provide a comprehensive means of ensuring that specific attributes are treated as required, which can cater to both general data integrity needs and more nuanced business processes. This dual approach can also help in creating a better user experience by providing clear feedback when required data is not provided according to the defined logic or conditions.
