How to make system field "Epic link" mandatory in Jira edit issue screen?

[Shivaprasad Hattaraki]

I want to do Epic link required in Jira edit issue screen by using behaviour script.

Can you help me with script..

[Shivaprasad Hattaraki · Accepted solution]

I have used behaviour script for this.. 

steps 1: Add behaviour 

          2: Add field ex: Epic Link

              And paste the script in server side script 

         3: Add mapping Ex: projects and issue types and SAVE. 

//Script 

if(getAction() == null){

    getFieldById(getFieldChanged()).setRequired(true)

}else{

    getFieldById(getFieldChanged()).setRequired(false)

}

Hello @Shivaprasad Hattaraki

If you are fine with epic link being mandatory in both create and edit screen then you dont' need any plugin for it. Just make the field mandatory in the field configuration which is associated with the issueType having the Epic link field.

Hi @Shivaprasad Hattaraki,

I've found this question and answer by other users which might help you.

On the other hand: Does it need to be in the edit screen or is the create screen also fine? You could follow this JIRA Knowledgebase article how to do this with a validator on the create transition.

Cheers,
Matthias.

It is fine with both create and edit screen.
