softwareProductDescription should be marked as mandatory

[CDR-DF]

Description

In the SoftwareProductMetaData schema, the softwareProductDescription field is marked as "optional". However, in the SSA Definition (https://consumerdatastandardsaustralia.github.io/standards/#client-registration) section, the client_description field (that maps to the softwareProductDescription field) is marked as "Required".

Area Affected

Register APIs -> Get Data Recipients

Change Proposed

Mark the softwareProductDescription field of the SoftwareProductMetaData schema as "mandatory".

DSB Proposed Solution

The current DSB proposal for this issue is in this comment.

[CDR-API-Stream]

This appears to be a reasonable change request. If the SSA setting of required is valid then the value will be always available so making the value mandatory in the software products API should have no implementation impact.

As a result, the current proposed solution is to adopt the change as proposed in the Change Proposed section of the issue.

Feedback is sought to identify if the assumption that this will have zero implementation impact and would not be a breaking change. If there is feedback that this assumption is incorrect then the proposed solution will be revisited.
