I am trying to make some custom fields required before the issue is officially created.

[Todd Thelin]

I have looked at several suggestions for this but the instructions say a "Field Configuration" and that is not in the cloud version that we are using. Any help?

Hi Todd,

You can certainly use Field Configurations in Cloud - in fact, I would say it is mandatory. 

Here is a link to help guide you:
