I need to reduce "Is it required?" to a single word for an input label in a web form and also for a column name in the database. Any suggestions what to name the field?
Enter field name
|____________|
Requiredness <radio-field>
O YES
O No
O Recommended
.
+--------------+--------------+--------------+ | |Requiredness | +--------------+--------------+--------------+ | |yes | | |no | | |recommended |
Is Requiredness a right word here? Any more suggestions?
Best Answer
Consider necessity, from ODO
It is a synonym of requiredness, from ODO
I'm no programmer, but requiredness is okay to be used for this purpose. Here's an example from IBM site.
Or simply using required would be fine.
