/entityType.setAttributeConstraints

Set the list of constraints for an attribute.

Warning. This is not an additive operation, you must pass in the entire set of constraints.

The available constraints are required, unique, locally-unique, alphabetic, alphanumeric, unicode-letters, unicode-printable, and email-address.

Note. See the Data Constraints and Features topic for more information.

Removing Constraints

Instead of removing a constraint, use this call to overwrite the existing constraint with a new constraint. If an attribute currently has the unique and required constraints, and you want to drop the required constraint, then you would pass in constraints=["unique"]. The constraints argument must be a valid JSON array, however you can pass in an empty array, which is the equivalent of no constraints at all.

Refer to the Registration Error Codes section for details on error codes.
