What impact would it make?

Increase data integrity

How should it work?

Make a field mandatory to be populated based on whether another field is populated or not. Maybe even based on a specific value in that field.


Why is it needed?

Increase data integrity, user-friendly UI


Example: in our Resource entity we have both a Country as well as a Locale CVL.

As soon as the Country attribute (CVL) is populated, make the Locale attribute (CVL) mandatory to be populated as well.
