That Pull-Request would be SO helpful as it fixes a major bug (and thus lot of issues). I was so happy when I saw it, and I am watching it for 4months now, but sadly it never gets approved :( How could we fasten the approval of the PR :) ?

I'm waiting on this too - it's maddening. I have a model class like this:

  @Schema(description = "Unique ksuid for this Event - returned on submission.", required = false)
  @NotEmpty(groups = {EventConsumerValidations.class})
  @Builder.Default
  private Optional<String> id = Optional.empty();

The idea is we want the validation after the object has been created with an id and not to have a client pass one in. I've tried required = false, I've tried a distinct @Schema annotation on the controller method that specifically omits that id field from the requiredProperties attribute. It's a huge omission. What is the hold-up with this PR?

I'm also looking forward to this.

Any updates?

This is a crucial functionality that would help many of us. If there is anything that needs to be done before merging this PR, I propose for Maintainers to write the additional requirements.

I also find this very useful as it reduces unnecessary explanations. This is an example I created based on version 1.7.0 and using another project that beautifies the page. I hope the native project will support this feature soon. knife4j-group, knife4j
