XSD Optional Elements

[kinglevel]

XSD Bug: Optional elements required by GDTF-Share

Affected elements

The following elements are declared minOccurs="0" (optional) in gdtf.xsd
but are required by the GDTF-Share upload server (gdtf-share.com):

Element	XSD line	XSD declaration	GDTF-Share behavior
Wheels	80	minOccurs="0"	Server 500 if missing
PhysicalDescriptions	86	minOccurs="0"	Server 500 if missing
FTPresets	118	minOccurs="0"	Server 500 if missing
Protocols	119	minOccurs="0"	Server 500 if missing

Symptoms

A GDTF file that passes XSD validation will cause an HTTP 500 (Internal
Server Error) on upload to GDTF-Share if any of these elements are omitted.
The upload wizard reads the file and proceeds through the categorization
steps normally, then hangs on the final "Uploading, please wait..." spinner
with an XHR-Error: Internal Server Error in the browser console.

Workaround

Always emit these elements, even when empty:

<Wheels />
<PhysicalDescriptions>
  <ColorSpace Mode="sRGB" Name="" />
  <AdditionalColorSpaces />
  <Gamuts />
  <Filters />
  <Emitters />
  <DMXProfiles />
  <CRIs />
  <Connectors />
  <Properties />
</PhysicalDescriptions>
<FTPresets />
<Protocols />

Resolution

Either the XSD should be updated to minOccurs="1" for these elements, or
the GDTF-Share server should handle their absence gracefully.

Thank you for the report. I have reported this to the GDTF Share team. The XSD as it currently stands is correct according to the GDTF Spec, so at this point, i would not change the XSD.
Ideally, if you encounter GDTF Share or API issue, please report to https://gdtf-share.com/landing/pages/contactUs.php
