Where are the 'require fields in these projects' controls now?

Eric Vormelker July 23, 2025

We have a few custom fields that appear on our issues, some are required for some projects, but not required on others. There used to be a place to set which ones were required on which projects. With the new navigation, I can't find it anymore.

Hello @Eric Vormelker 

For Company Managed projects you set fields as Always Required within the Field Configurations that are used by the Field Configuration Scheme applied to the project.

Here are some reference materials for that.

Field Behaviour: https://support.atlassian.com/jira-cloud-administration/docs/specify-field-behavior/

Field Configuration Schemes: https://support.atlassian.com/jira-cloud-administration/docs/configure-a-field-configuration-scheme/#How-to-edit-the-field-configuration-associated-with-a-work-type

Field Configurations and Field Configuration Schemes can be reached by going through the gear icon (near your avatar) and selecting Work Items. The options for all the different types of schemes appear in the left-side panel. Alternately you can get to the Field Configuration Scheme for a specific project by going to Project Settings > Work Items > Fields.

 

 

For a Team Managed project you set fields as Required through Project Settings > Work Types > select a work type > set fields as Required.

 

Let me know if you have additional questions.
