[YANGTOOLS-617] Mandatory leaf enforcement does not work when RESTCONF call is made is certain way

Sun, 10 Apr 2022 18:35:47 +0000

BGP-PCEP project has bgp-rib model [1]. It defines an application-rib container which uses rib grouping that contains a routes choice which is augmented from other address-family specific models. E.g. bgp-inet model [2] augments it with ipv4-routes-case which uses ipv4-routes grouping. This uses route grouping from [1] which in turn uses path-attributes grouping from bgp-message model [3]. Path-attributes uses origin container which has a value leaf specified as mandatory using "mandatory true" statement

When populating data into application-rib using RESTCONF, the mandatory validation for origin seems to work in some cases but not others:
1. When using POST URL [1] and data [2], the mandatory validation actually works
2. But when using POST URL [3] and data [4], the mandatory validation does not work

Since we cannot control how the user will invoke RESTCONF, the mandatory validation should work in all cases
