To make a the first_name field required we add the following to the fields.ini file:

[first_name]
    validators:required=1

Note that fields that are declared NOT NULL in the database are required by default.. If you wanted to remove the required validator from a field that is NOT NULL in the database you would add the following to the fields.ini file:

[first_name]
    validators:required=0
