You can mark specific fields as being required to be completed by users when they upload assets.
This is useful when certain fields are important to you in terms of keeping your Dash organised, and to ensure important assets are made searchable to other users.
Setting a field as required on upload
To mark a field as required on upload, simply go to Admin > Fields, select the desired field, and tick the "Required on upload" checkbox.
