Sensenet: Validate "compulsory" fields when the file is uploaded to a document library

Question

I have a document library that has some fields as compulsory but when I upload them sensenet does not required the fill of that fields.

This is working only on the edit function

Answer 1

The problem with this feature is that on the built-in UI you cannot actually fill any fields when you upload a document. So if you had any compulsory fields (and we validated them) you would not be able to upload documents at all, the system would deny that.

Currently I do not know an out-of-the-box solution for this, you would have to create a custom upload UI (of course using the built-in simple upload functionality) that makes sure the user fills the compulsory fields before uploading the doc.

If you think this is something we should look into, please create an issue on github.
