Research direction

Search for the exact validation error and inspect how Detection.tags.observables is checked. Determine which validation and tests govern empty observables, then verify that a Detection without an observable is accepted while existing requirements for declared Victim observables remain covered.

Description

Hello, when I put an empty list in the tags section for observable, I get this error:

Value error, Error, there must be AT LEAST 1 Observable with the role 'Victim' declared in Detection.tags.observables. However, none were found.

I'd like to be able to create a Detection without an observable. I don't understand why this should be enforced, can we somehow remove this rigid constraint?

Thanks!
