Starting February 14th, 2025, Contentful will allow users to mark taxonomy validations as required on content types.

Once a particular taxonomy validation has been marked required for a given content type, any entry of that content type will be checked on publish to determine if the entry has taxonomy concepts assigned which fulfill the required validation(s) from the relevant content type.

Content editors will be given cues in the UI to allow them to easily fulfill any unfulfilled taxonomy validations before publishing.
