Required fields within array of object

Expected behavior

Required fields should validate within an array ‘items’ object.

Actual behavior

Validation does not occur

Steps to reproduce the behavior

Schema as shown;

                "default": "*"
            },
            "active": {
                "title": "Active",
                "type": "boolean",
                "format": "checkbox",

        }
    }
}

All fields for each item should be required, however they can be blank and validation reports no issues. The above schema validates array items correctly at https://www.jsonschemavalidator.net/ so there should be no issues with the schema itself.

In the json-schema world required does not mean that some value must be set. It means that the value must be present (valid also if its empty).

What you need is “minLength”, probably.

You can set the required property for a property, but this is connected to json-schema’s required, which means that the key has to exist in the JSON output.

@germanbisurgi Could you have a look at the part for the atttributes required placeholder="Placeholder text" - please open a new issue, if needed.
