Required Fields

When a business object field is created from service metadata, the initial values of the Required for update and Required for create properties are set based on the following OpenAPI property:

• The Required for update value is determined by the request body schema of the PUT (or PATCH) operation for the item path, along with the OpenAPI Required array property.
• The Required for create value is determined by the request body schema of the POST operation for the collection path, along with the OpenAPI Required array property.

When these PUT/PATCH or POST operations are not available, the Required properties are set using the response body schema of the collection GET operation and the OpenAPI Required array property. If the OpenAPI Required array property is not present in a schema, the corresponding Required property defaults to false.

You can always edit the Required for update and Required for create values in the Business Object Field Editor. See Configure Business Object Fields.
