Make VAT ID a required field for guest orders

[Farbenkollektiv]

Hey guys,

i'm currently stuck on making the vat id a required field for guest orders (shipping address and - if it differs - billing address).

This doesn't seem to be a configuration option ("show in frontend" only can be "yes" or "no" and not "required") and overriding "/vendor/magento/module-customer/view/base/ui_component/customer_form.xml" with

<field name="vat_id" formElement="input">
    <argument name="data" xsi:type="array">
        <item name="config" xsi:type="array">
            <item name="source" xsi:type="string">address</item>
        </item>
    </argument>
    <settings>
        <validation>
            <rule name="required-entry" xsi:type="boolean">true</rule>
        </validation>
        <dataType>text</dataType>
    </settings>
</field>

unfortunately didn't work either (if this is the intended way i might have done it wrong).

Any help is very appreciated!

Thank you

Johannes
