Mandatory fields for release

Question

Hi,

Is there a way to add a field to a release and force updating it before releasing a version?
Use case: I would like to force everyone to add a build link to the release before it is released. Preferably if this could be shown in the Automation for Jira with Slack.

Thanks a lot,
Barak.

Thanks Tarun but it's not exactly the case.
When I have a release ready and all the tickets are done, I build a version and once I release the built version I also "release" the Jira release, though I'd like to force other people to add the link for the built version to the release (so eventually a release will be connected to the link to the build)

Hello @Barak Haver

You can have a transition screen and make the field mandatory. The transition should be the one taking you to the status where you generally release the issue.
