Define required attributes for specified type + workflow state for an artifact type

Analogous to IBM EWM (Precondition: Required value for type and state) it would be very useful if there is a possibility to create rules to ensure that if the artifact reaches a specific state in a workflow, a value for an attribute is set by the user. 

E.g. to transition from a state "New" to "In Review", the user has to fill out specific attributes, which are required to perform a review.

As an extension this would also be useful to require at least one present link of a link type, e.g. an "Agreed" requirement in a subsystem has to be decomposed (at least on decompose link) to a system requirement.

    I was going to enter a separate Idea - but I think piggy-back this:

    Can the concept not be abstractly the same as EWM except for DNG artifacts (i.e. Preconditions and Followup actions for artifacts...and detected on Save of the artifact?  That way, conditional expectations as described above can be accomplished as well as others.  I have a similar need for "process enforcement" with Change Sets for users making changes to be sure to do particular updates...and I would also like the ability to execute and action (like gathering several pieces of information from the artifact into a "value" stored in an attribute of the artifact. (I would classify that activity as a "followup action").
