Returns the behavior (requiredness) of a field as defined in the schema for a given state. If no state is given, it returns the default behavior (requiredness) for the field. A field can be mandatory, optional, or read-only.
You can use the GetFieldNames method of the Entity object to obtain a list of valid names for the field_name parameter.
