Examples from "Common Particles Configuration" section of the form reference: form.mustvalue - an optional field is *displayed* as required when form.mustvalue=true

Required field that when HTML5 is enabled does not admit the empty string
This input is required but accepts the empty string, also when using html5
This control binds the empty input to an absent value
Also if is displayed as required this field can be submitted without value since html5 [required] is not used...there's no validation involved, as usual constraints must stay in schema, this is just a visualization configuration
