What changes were proposed in this pull request?
We prune nested fields from Generate. If a child output is required in a top operator of Generate, we should not prune nested fields on it. Otherwise, the accessors on top operator could be unresolved.
Why are the changes needed?
A required child output means it is referred as a whole or by its nested fields on top of operator of Generate. If the rule prunes other nested fields from it, the accessors on top operator will be unresolved.
Does this PR introduce any user-facing change?
No.
How was this patch tested?
Unit tests.
