+### Require source fields to be used
+
+If you want to enforce that every field of the source type is used in the transformation, you can enable the
+`.requireSourceFieldsUsedExcept` setting. This setting also allows you to add fields you'd like to ignore:
+
+!!! example
+
+    ```scala
+    //> using dep io.scalaland::chimney::{{ chimney_version() }}
+    import io.scalaland.chimney.dsl._
+
+    case class Source(a: String, b: Int, c: String)
+    case class Target(a: String)
+
+    Source("value", 512, "anotherValue")
+      .into[Target]
+      .requireSourceFieldsUsedExcept()
+      .transform
+    // Chimney can't derive transformation from Source to Target
+    // 
+    // Target
+    //   field(s) b, c of Source are required to be used in the transformation but are not used!
+    //
+    // Consult https://chimney.readthedocs.io for usage examples.
+
+    pprint.pprintln(
+        Source("value", 512, "anotherValue")
+          .into[Target]
+          .requireSourceFieldsUsedExcept(_.b, _.c)
+          .transform
+    )
+    // expected output:
+    // Target(a = "value")

 ### Writing to Bean setters
 
 If we want to write to `def setFieldName(fieldName: A): Unit` as if it was `fieldName: A` argument of a constructor -
