Now in the same project directory create a file `Dockerfile` with:

```{ .dockerfile .annotate }

Esto significa que **siempre tendrá un valor**, solo que a veces el valor podría ser `None` (o `null` en JSON).

Eso significa que, los clientes que usan tu API no tienen que revisar si el valor existe o no, pueden **asumir que el campo siempre estará allí**, pero solo que en algunos casos tendrá el valor por defecto de `None`.

La forma de describir esto en OpenAPI es marcar ese campo como **requerido**, porque siempre estará allí.
