Force validations on records when publishing

January 13th, 2025

Another one for content best practices! We're rolling out an option to stop CMS users from publishing invalid records.

How can published records be invalid you ask? Imagine records where title fields were required, and everything was published correctly. No sweat. You now extend that model to add in a new subtitle field which is also required. At this point, all the records in that model will require you to update them by filling in the subtitle field before their next publish.

While we'll enable this flag to TRUE for all new projects, you can easily enable it in your existing project under Configuration > Available Updates.
