Current behaviour
When executing: bitcoin-cli walletcreatefundedpsbt or bitcoin-cli createpsbt without args you will get a help output that looks like this:
0Creates and funds a transaction in the Partially Signed Transaction format.
1Implements the Creator and Updater roles.
2All existing inputs must either have their previous output transaction be in the wallet
3or be in the UTXO set. Solving data must be provided for non-wallet inputs.

5Arguments:
61. inputs (json array, optional) Leave empty to add inputs automatically. See add_inputs option.
7 [
8 { (json object)
9 "txid": "hex", (string, required) The transaction id
10 "vout": n, (numeric, required) The output number
11 "sequence": n, (numeric, optional, default=depends on the value of the 'locktime' and 'options.replaceable' arguments) The sequence number
12 "weight": n, (numeric, optional, default=Calculated from wallet and solving data) The maximum weight for this input, including the weight of the outpoint and sequence number. Note that signature sizes are not guaranteed to be consistent, so the maximum DER signatures size of 73 bytes should be used when considering ECDSA signatures.Remember to convert serialized sizes to weight units when necessary.
13 },
14 ...
15 ]
162. outputs (json array, required) The outputs (key-value pairs), where none of the keys are duplicated.
17 That is, each address can only appear once and there can only be one 'data' object.
18 For compatibility reasons, a dictionary, which holds the key-value pairs directly, is also
19 accepted as second parameter.
20 [
21 { (json object)
22 "address": amount, (numeric or string, required) A key-value pair. The key (string) is the bitcoin address,
23 the value (float or string) is the amount in BTC
24 ...
25 },
26 { (json object)
27 "data": "hex", (string, required) A key-value pair. The key must be "data", the value is hex-encoded data
28 },
29 ...
30 ]
313. locktime (numeric, optional, default=0) Raw locktime. Non-0 value also locktime-activates inputs
324. options (json object, optional)
33 {
34 "add_inputs": bool, (boolean, optional, default=false when "inputs" are specified, true otherwise) Automatically include coins from the wallet to cover the target amount.
35
36 "include_unsafe": bool, (boolean, optional, default=false) Include inputs that are not safe to spend (unconfirmed transactions from outside keys and unconfirmed replacement transactions).
37 Warning: the resulting transaction may become invalid if one of the unsafe inputs disappears.
38 If that happens, you will need to fund the transaction with different inputs and republish it.
39 "minconf": n, (numeric, optional, default=0) If add_inputs is specified, require inputs with at least this many confirmations.
40 "maxconf": n, (numeric, optional) If add_inputs is specified, require inputs with at most this many confirmations.
41 "changeAddress": "str", (string, optional, default=automatic) The bitcoin address to receive the change
42 "changePosition": n, (numeric, optional, default=random) The index of the change output
43 "change_type": "str", (string, optional, default=set by -changetype) The output type to use. Only valid if changeAddress is not specified. Options are "legacy", "p2sh-segwit", "bech32", and "bech32m".
44 "includeWatching": bool, (boolean, optional, default=true for watch-only wallets, otherwise false) Also select inputs which are watch only
45 "lockUnspents": bool, (boolean, optional, default=false) Lock selected unspent outputs
46 "fee_rate": amount, (numeric or string, optional, default=not set, fall back to wallet fee estimation) Specify a fee rate in sat/vB.
47 "feeRate": amount, (numeric or string, optional, default=not set, fall back to wallet fee estimation) Specify a fee rate in BTC/kvB.
48 "subtractFeeFromOutputs": [ (json array, optional, default=[]) The outputs to subtract the fee from.
49 The fee will be equally deducted from the amount of each specified output.
50 Those recipients will receive less bitcoins than you enter in their corresponding amount field.
51 If no outputs are specified here, the sender pays the fee.
52 vout_index, (numeric) The zero-based output index, before a change output is added.
53 ...
54 ],
55 "conf_target": n, (numeric, optional, default=wallet -txconfirmtarget) Confirmation target in blocks
56 "estimate_mode": "str", (string, optional, default="unset") The fee estimate mode, must be one of (case insensitive):
57 "unset"
58 "economical"
59 "conservative"
60 "replaceable": bool, (boolean, optional, default=wallet default) Marks this transaction as BIP125-replaceable.
61 Allows this transaction to be replaced by a transaction with higher fees
62 "solving_data": { (json object, optional) Keys and scripts needed for producing a final transaction with a dummy signature.
63 Used for fee estimation during coin selection.
64 "pubkeys": [ (json array, optional, default=[]) Public keys involved in this transaction.
65 "pubkey", (string) A public key
66 ...
67 ],
68 "scripts": [ (json array, optional, default=[]) Scripts involved in this transaction.
69 "script", (string) A script
70 ...
71 ],
72 "descriptors": [ (json array, optional, default=[]) Descriptors that provide solving data for this transaction.
73 "descriptor", (string) A descriptor
74 ...
75 ],
76 },
77 }
785. bip32derivs (boolean, optional, default=true) Include BIP 32 derivation paths for public keys if we know them
79
80Result:
81{ (json object)
82 "psbt" : "str", (string) The resulting raw transaction (base64-encoded string)
83 "fee" : n, (numeric) Fee in BTC the resulting transaction pays
84 "changepos" : n (numeric) The position of the added change output, or -1
85}

89Create a transaction with no inputs
90> bitcoin-cli walletcreatefundedpsbt "[{\"txid\":\"myid\",\"vout\":0}]" "[{\"data\":\"00010203\"}]"
The (json object)’s within outputs are not being populated with “required” or “optional”
Expected behaviour
(json object, optional) or (json object, required) appears in help text.
Edit: This is more complicated as 1 of the 2 are minimally needed. Instead helper text was added.
