[ckan-dev] tags

Hi, Nigel!

As I said, I am able to update the fields I want. But, speaking about
custom_field I added few of them and I made them required fields with
"not_empty" in the validator. The point now is that, if I set them to be
required fields my package_update returns validation error for my custom
fields.

I am making the update copying the result from package_show and I guess in
this way it doesn't see that the value of my custom fields are already
there. If I use "ignore_missing" everything is fine but I would like to
make them required_field.
