Make Metaproperties Required or Optional

On the Configuration page of Metaproperty Management, you can find out which metaproperties are optional and which ones are required. By default, metaproperties are optional and don't have to be filled in when uploading or editing assets. Required metaproperties do need to be filled in upon upload or when editing assets. When a metaproperty isn't required, the Required switch is grayed out.
