IGC should provide ability to mark standard or custom attribute fields as mandatory before publishing the terms

See this idea on ideas.ibm.com

Audit team identified that few attributes of high importance were left blank. This is possible because IGC currently allows users to publish terms even though standard or custom attributes are left blank.

    Thanks for your idea, and we are reviewing an approach that when defining Workflow one can prevent the ability to publish Assets if required properties are not defined.

    This approach would allow cusotmers to delinate which properties (i.e. Description or Steward or Custom Attribute) are required.

    There is no formal plan yet for when this will be incuded in the product.
