Can we pass the `align` parameter in `requiredHeightIn` or is there other way to achieve this?

```.wrapContentHeight(align = …)
.requiredHeightIn(…)```


but then you probably don't even need `required`:
```.wrapContentHeight(unbounded = true, align = …)
.heightIn(…)```


Yes that's how I changed my code, first I used `.requiredHeightIn(…)` then found the issue that my content was being central aligned(as mentioned in the doc) then used the `.wrapContentHeight(unbounded = true, align = …)`  as I wanted to have my content not squeezed in the available space rather go outside the bounds of the parent Composable then thought there is no need of `requiredHeightIn` as `wrapContentHeight` with unbounded already discards the incoming max constraints

But then what will be the use of below code
```.requiredHeightIn(min = 40.dp) ```
when same can be achieved by
```.wrapContentHeight(unbounded = true)
.heightIn(min = 40.dp)```

Good question, I would recommend the latter in almost all cases. I've used `requiredHeightIn` mostly in tests, where I want to force a container size but don't care how that container's parent places it.

The only other thing I can think of is that `required*` should still report the actual height to the parent via `Placeable.measuredHeight`, which you could potentially consume with a custom layout (afaik none of the built-in layouts read that property). But that smells pretty weird too, at that point I would probably expect the custom layout to just pass different constraints to the child.
