Hi Ying,
actually, the type-bind element *does* give us the opportunity to make
fields required for certain types and optional for others! I found this
out just after posting the question you cited. For a specific metadata
field, just have two distinct entries in your input-forms.xml, one
specifying a required element and the other leaving it blank. Like this:
# Element X - required
...
requiredPlease enter a valuerequired/
type-binddocTypeAtype-bind/
# Element X - not required
...
requiredrequired/
type-binddocTypeB, docTypeCtype-bind/
Best,
Joachim

Hi all,
I checked out the DSpace from github branch dspace-3_x. It seems the
type-bind definition is missing in input-forms.dtd.
I agree with Joachim that the type-bind lack the strategy to define
required fields for different document types. Also, we would like a
function to define a field type-bind all types except type A. Right
now, you probably have to list all types except type A. If you have 20
item types, that's quite annoying.

Hi all,
I would like to tailor the metadata input forms during item submission
to the respective item/document type. I know this can be done by using
the type-bind tag in the input-forms.xml, but this does not give me
control over which metadata fields are *required* for which item type,
right?
For instance, metadata field X should be required for item type A,
optional for type B, and unavailable for type C. I have some 20 item
types and 25 distinct metadata fields. I run DSpace 3.0 with the XMLUI.
Any ideas?
