Jens Hübel commented on CMIS-646:
---------------------------------

Florian your comment might be a bit misleading. The relevant section in the spec is 2.1.3.3.1 in my opinion and here line 837ff:
"This attribute is only applicable to non-sytem properties, i.e. properties whose value is provided 
by the application. 
If TRUE, then the value of this property MUST never be set to the "not set" state when an object 
of this type is created/updated.  If not provided during a create or update operation, the repository 
MUST provide a value for this property."

So yes it is meant for the client to provide this value. However I read the spec that it means you can't "unset" a required property. So if I have "CustomerNo" in my type definition set to be required. I must provide a value during create if it does not have default value. However I do not see that I am forced to provide a value during an updateProperties/checkin call. Omitting this just leaves it unchanged. I am not allowed to delete the value. If I pass the property without a value it is reset to its default. Omitting it leaves it unchanged.

In any case the original issue remains that required should be the same for all base types.

> Section 2.1.4.3.3 "Property Definitions" states that the property cmis:objectTypeId is required for documents. That looks like an oversight. cmis:objectTypeId should not be required and is not required for all other base types.
