Description

Currently all child groups are required to satisfy their constraints (defaul is any thing goes) and so if you have a Group A as a child of Group B and set a minimum of 1 on A then B is no longer Optional as A is not Optional.

Issue Links

• depends upon: CLI-159 The required property for the child groups of a group should be more consistent
• depends upon: CLI-123 the minimum and maximum constraints on a group do not take other groups into account
