RichardQ Mandatory fields are not tagged as a minOccurs="1" in the WSDL files.
Hi.
One of my SF users has set the mandatory state on a custom field.
But when I export the enterprise WSDL file, that column, though correctly typed, has a minOccurs="0".
<element name="Prospective_Target__c" nillable="true" minOccurs="0" type="xsd:double"/>
As a consequence, my mapper hasn't got the all the rules it needs to enforce this rule automatically.
Setting minOccurs="1" maxOccurs="1" is a very easily understood pattern, and especially on a simple element.
Is this something that could be done?
Conversly, because the WSDL files say the column is NOT mandatory in any descernible way, it shouldn't reject content in the way it now does. Hmm. Yeah, I know that's pushing things a bit, but I hope you can see the point.
I'm new on here, so is there anything else I need to ask to get some resolution on this?

Because the update method support partial updates (i.e. you only need to send the fields you want to change rather than all the fields), the elements in the WSDL can't be marked as minOccurs='1'.
The describeSobject API call has information about the requiredness of fields.
