    [ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/TEIID-2909?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12957457#comment-12957457 ] 

Ramesh Reddy commented on TEIID-2909:
-------------------------------------

1) If something is marked "required", only required with when other property is defined, then that required property has been defined in-correctly, that needs to be fixed.

2) As per being required state when other property is in play, that will be explained on the property description, and IMO that is sufficient. Yes, Teiid does check the properties in those situations, and fail if the needed property is needed is not available with proper error message indicating the user to take corrective action. Note that this not common either.

If you think the above is not sufficient, and we need further elaborate framework, you can propose *how* you you see this can be solved.

> For some data source types, there are associated propertyDefinitions that are marked 'required'.  However, they are not always required.
> I'm referring to TeiidPropertyDefinition list returned by adminApi.getTemplatePropertyDefns(), for example.
> Google source is example of a source containing this type of property definition.  
> https://docs.jboss.org/author/display/teiid84final/Google+Spreadsheet+Data+Sources
> For example 'RefreshToken' is marked as required, but it is only required based on the value of another property (AuthMethod).
> Can teiid provide these additional conditions along with the propertyDefinition?  Without this information we are forced to hard-code the validation rules into our client application.
