In many cases, especially when integrating FME Server in custom applications it is neccessary to know if a given parameter is optional or not. For example to give the user visual feedback if a certain parameter may not be empty. This information exists in the workbench, but is not published through the REST Interface.

+14- Safer
This has now been implemented in FME Server Build 18190 or Newer!
The web interface will now indicate required parameters that are not satisfied when the workspace is configured (and a run attempted) and the REST API now returns an "optional" : <true | false> parameter when queried – e.g. GET /repositories/< repository >/items/< item >/parameters.
+14- Safer
FME Server 2018.0 has now been released! If you try to run a workspace without filling in any non-optional (i.e. required) parameters, these fields will be highlighted. See example image below.
