We are announcing a further postponement of the enforcement of stricter validation for required fields in the Content Management API (CMA) to accommodate our customers during the upcoming busy holiday and retail periods.

The new enforcement date will now be 21st January 2025.

After this date, entries with any required fields left empty will not be publishable, even if these fields are hidden in the field editor. If a field’s validation is set as both disabled: true and required: true but is left empty, a validation error will occur. We will then reveal the hidden fields so that a value can be input.

Thank you for your understanding as we aim to make this transition as seamless as possible. Please reach out if you have questions or need support in preparing for this update.

For more information about the upcoming change and how to migrate, see the Validations for hidden and required fields page and the Content Management API page.
