I've read the manual and done a lot of searching on the forum and I still don't understand how to use this screen.
I have an asset builder that makes images. I select 'width' as a required attribute.
But then what? There doesn't seem to be any way to add a width field to the form, so I guess it's not a way to make people type their own dimensions in.
In my ideal world it would be a maximum width that wouldn't allow people to add huge images, but I doubt that's what it does. B)
So… what does it do? :blink:
For attributes displayed on the create screen, it allows you to ensure they are filled in. It doesn't provide interfaces to fill in attributes that are not coded into the creation screen of assets. It does list all attributes though because custom assets can expose additional fields.
Okay… could you provide a hypothetical (or real!) situation of using required attributes on an asset builder and what they achieved with it? I kind of understand your description but am failing to grasp why it exists and what I could be doing with it.
You could ensure that all user accounts that are created include an email address.
Oh! Because attributes aren't metadata so you can't make them compulsory that way… of course!
Thanks, now I get it.
