Optional Boolean. If TRUE, the field must not have an empty value assigned to it. If a nonempty field value is not given in a form post, either the standard required-field text or an explicitly specified message (that is, via  tags) is displayed in the error form. This validation is handled only by the client (the database always allows NULL for all user-defined fields).
