The value is case-insensitive and accepts keywords in any order as long as they are separated with a comma (,).

EssentialFieldsEx

Set a key inside ...|Digas|Database|[dns]|[table]|EssentialFieldsEx folder to define which fields are mandatory to be filled by the user.

Defines all fields which must be filled with values in Details Pane (that are not already available as EssentialFields). If fields are empty in Details Pane, an error message is shown and the entry cannot be stored. These fields can be regular fields or custom defined fields. Any keys in this section are the technical field names. The corresponding values are optional and arbitrary and defines alias names. An example for a custom field is "ABC/METADATA=ABC Custom MetaData Field", where 'ABC/METADATA' is the database field name and 'ABC Custom MetaData Field' the name of the field listed in the error message in case it is empty.
