Description

When trying to use a generated model class for partial update, and if some required fields are missed (None) the model creation fails with ValueError("Invalid value for '...', must not be 'None'")

There should be possibility to disable the validation procedure, or even to remove it from client.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the generated Python model failure during a PATCH partial update when required fields are None. Determine whether the intended behavior is configurable validation or removing this validation from the client; done means partial updates no longer fail solely because omitted required fields are None.
