Request Validation Scope for Custom Validations

Custom validations can be configured with a Node or Parent scope to control which node is evaluated during request item validation. Node scope validations evaluate the node for which request actions have been performed. Parent scope validations evaluate the parent of the node that has request actions. Validations with the Parent scope run only for changes made to hierarchy viewpoints. When validating a viewpoint outside of a request context, Parent scope validations run for every node in the viewpoint.

Business Benefit: Parent nodes in hierarchy viewpoints can be validated when performing request actions such as Insert, Move, and Remove on their child nodes. For example, when a parent node must have at least one child node of a particular type or a parent node cannot have multiple children with certain property values.
