[magnolia-dev] [JIRA] (MGNLUI-3313) Improve validation capabilities of the multi fields

[on behalf of Mikaël Geljic]

Mikaël Geljic updated MGNLUI-3313 Improve validation capabilities of the multi fields Raising priority as this was reverted once already. I do see the three potential interpretations of the required property for multi-fields in general (i.e. multivalue, composite and switchable fields). But I also think we may come up with a sensible interpretation for each of them, individually: MultiField would require at least one entry. SwitchableField would require exactly its switch property to be set, i.e. the radio was explicitly selected. Whether subfield should have a value depends upon its respective required property. CompositeField is more arguable. It's already possible to mark individual sub-fields as required, on their respective definition. A. Either it means all fields are required B. Either at least one subfield is required the "all" option remains possible by marking all subfield definitions as required (parent probably missing the asterisk then). is more consistent with other multi-fields. C. I would dismiss the "exactly one field" proposal — use a switchable field instead. D. Fourth option: simply ignore the required property explicitly for composite fields. In any case, if the required property doesn't solve issues, we should make sure it is possible to set custom FieldValidators to implement these behaviors, and maybe provide some of them.
