How can I change the label of a field?

How can I change the description of a field (which is required) if it is currently marked as optional? When creating a ticket on Jire from the public Slack channel, a window appears with autocomplete suggestions. One field is required—you can’t create the ticket without it—but it’s labeled “optional” , which is misleading. If you try to create the ticket without filling in that field, you don’t get a message saying something went wrong, and the problem isn’t specified. Is it possible to remove the “optional” label from this field for us?

Hello @Agnieszka Weglinska 

The optional text in the Slack dialog is generated by the Jira–Slack integration. It is not a field label that can be manually renamed or removed.

The first thing I would check is how the field was made required.

That one also slight Related. [JRACLOUD-83249] Ability to configure fields to be displayed in the create jira issue dialog box in Slack and Allow mandatory fields to be displayed in create Jira issue dialog box in slack. - Create and track feature requests for Atlassian products.
