Defintion/Decription Field for Business Terms

Hi ​@sjettawi , to add to Robert’s comment, it is possible to make the field mandatory even after it’s published in the model, however using custom Upgrade commands. You can use the following upgrade command:

{
  name: "Make businessDefinition property mandatory",
  description: "Sets property businessDefinition of node term as required",
  operations: [
    {  
		name: "AddConstraint",  
		args: {    
			targetNode: "term",
			targetProperty: "businessDefinition",
			constraint: {                
				id: "DEFINITION_REQUIRED",     
				type: "REQUIRED"
			}
		}
	  }	
  ]
}

You will save this as a json5 file and upload it through System changes: https://docs.ataccama.com/one/latest/metadata-model/system-changes.html#add-changes.

However, this will cause that all your existing terms, that won’t have the business definition filled, will become invalid (you will see an error in each of them). So I highly recommend to populate the field everywhere before uploading this. Also, it is recommended to do a DB backup before performing such change. For that reason it is much safer to create a new field as Robert described.

You can use a similar command to remove the constraint as well:

{
  name: "Remove required constraint from terms",
  description: "",
  operations: [
    {
      name: "RemoveConstraint",
      args: {
        targetNode: "term",
        targetProperty: "businessDefinition",
        "constraintId": "DEFINITION_REQUIRED"
      }
    }
  ]
}

Kind regards,

Anna
