Hi, how can I change a custom field type in JIra

Question

I am want to create a custom field 'Acceptance Criteria' and make the field type 'Text'.

However, none of the fields listed on the custom field page is text. Can someone help me?

If you want it required at creation time update the field configuration for that issue type. If you want it required during a transition screen you need a plugin. I use JIRA suite utilities.
