Possibility to configure attributes (default and custom) as mandatory

At the business term level, it should be possible to configure both default attributes (description, etc.) and custom attributes to mark them as mandatory, so that when adding a new term, the attributes that are configured as mandatory must be filled in by the user before they can be saved/published.

For example, the client wants the description attribute to be mandatory whenever a new business term is added.

    Hello,

    We plan to extend the Admin UI to support setting custom properties and custom relationships as mandatory. Our tentative timeline for this enhancement is Q4 2025.

    For out of the box properties, we currently do not plan to introduce this option.

    Best regards,
    Michal

    Thank you for the Idea. This is currently in our backlog with a number of clients asking for this feature. We will update status to Planned as soon as we can target a delivery timeframe.
