The wf_required_fields module allows you to configure which fields of a CCK node
are required, based on the workflow state of the node.

Required fields are marked on the node edit form. Also transitions are objected
(with a suitable message) if required fields for the target state are missing.

The module was tested with the field types that come with the CCK module. It
should also work with other CCK field types that use CCK for database storage.

It also cooperates with conditional_fields, and works with the state transition
buttons provided by workflow_extensions.
(the workflow_extensions integration only works if the patch from
http://drupal.org/node/1313490 is applied to the workflow_extensions module).


Installation
------------

Copy this whole folder to modules directory, as usual. Drupal should
automatically detect the module. Enable the module on the modules'
administration page.

Usage
-----

Go to admin/build/wf-required-fields to configure which content types to
use, and which fields should be required fields in which workflow state.

The normal "Field Settings" required checkbox is mostly ignored.  However, a
radios widget will draw with an N/A button if you don't set it to required in
its Field Settings.  This may or may not be desired behavior.  If there is not
an N/A button, then once a radio button is selected, it can never be
unselected.
