Current Core clarification — Client Categories

name is the database column submitted by the form. Although optional for a non-persisted display input, it must be set for a field that should be saved. Use the database column required by your form. Add required and maxlength attributes only when appropriate for the field and its actual database schema. Array definitions and the shown legacy positional syntax both remain supported.
