Describe the bug

The descriptionType is not mandatory when registering a DOI with the REST API

Expected Behaviour

The descriptionType is required to create a findable DOI with the REST API, in line with the metadata schema

Current Behaviour

The descriptionType is not mandatory when registering a DOI with the REST API, it's possible to create a findable DOI with a description but no descriptionType

Note; there is a normalization in place which adds the descriptionType in XML - https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1Hy0KXWPxqNx-Pfh-nNFxbsUFXXVYsO8O2sDIytXQv7U/edit?gid=1806954511#gid=1806954511&range=13:13
