I have noted that when I define an attribute on a document set with data type Value Set it is not possible to set the attribute to be required. Why is this? Is there any workaround to have it as a required attribute?
Hi DaHen,
Can you confirm if the Document Type that you are amending doesn't already has documents associated to it?
It might be a case that it is conflicting with documents that already exist. Because you are adding a new Attribute and making it required it is almost saying that it cannot accept a null value - similiar to SQL logic.
To get around this you could look at defining the Attribute as "Not" required, update all documents so they have a value in the attribute field and then setting it to required.
Hope this helps.

Hi Qasim,
Yes, I have tried both in exsting and a completely new document type. Normally, if you add or change an attribute to set requested on a document type with documents connected to, you will get an error when you save. But in those cases, the checkbox to set requested is there. For the data type Value Set, the checkbox is simply not there.
