Setup Pega to check the mandatory fields in a json - REST call
What I would like to know is how to setup Pega to check the mandatory fields in a json that is sent as part of the incomming REST call and send appropriate return code. I tried to do that as part of "Validation" under "Advanced" tab for the property under the mapped json class, see below details.
I have a REST service which I am testing various input scenarios and see how Pega sends the response back. When I wans testing the "mandatory field" in the incomming json, I added some validation data for the property in the class that are mapped to the json. I did the below changes and when I call the REST endpoint without the required field as part of the json, I dont get any error instead I get a valid response back.

IDEXX-Int-RESTAPI-EvaluateTest-Accession.accessionId
Under Advanced tab, I have the following Validation on the property accessionId
1. Max length = 5
2. Min length = 3
3. Column inclusion = Required
Pls let me know if this the right way of doing it or if there is a different way of doing it.

Generally, you must do all your validations in the REST-service activity.
Use Obj-Validate on a service page. If fails, use OOTB "getMessages" function to set a text message in the response.

Thanks Vazpos. I could get the messages using this @getMessagesAll(Primary), it works for the first time but when I send a valid request again I still get the same error response.
1. How can I reset or clear all the error messages that were captured from the previous call?
2. How can I set the error message in the "when" condition in the "Jump" call, as I dont see the option to set the error message on the false condition

huh?
Every new WS request should create new requestor with clean clipboard. Could you trace the second request? What's in the service page?
2. On a when condition one cannot set any properties. You must ue Jump logic to goto another step where you will set an error message.
Can you attach a screenshots of your WS rule + activity rule?
