Research direction

Start by tracing how field-level validation works for objects such as Image and where it is invoked before serialization. Determine how property assignment is handled and what existing tests cover. Done means invalid values are detected immediately after assignment, with tests demonstrating the behavior.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

Right now the field level validations on objects such as Image are performed just before serializing the data. This can lead to situation where incorrect value is put in, but the problem is only discovered much later. It's almost impossible to detect what went wrong in such cases.

It would be cool if we could do the validations immediately after setting the property.
