Require connection input?

[isarmstrong]

Hey @scribu

I've built a post type for company employees the borrows heavily from a linked WordPress user. This allows me to give individuals control over the display of their user name, bio, and social media links without getting into custom post type authorship issues. I've built a class to handle template population as well and the whole operation is really clean except for one little issue.

When creating a new "person", I need to require a one-to-one user account connection in order to save. It doesn't look like you've built that in. While I now I'll never create a "person" without linking a user account, I have to build the site like I won't always be the UX/UI person at the company. Saving an unlinked person results in a very blank profile.

I wondered if I was missing something. Hoped anyhow.

Is this possible?
