If you mean the Resolution field, it is ALWAYS required anytime it appears on any screen except the view screen.  that is why you should NEVER put the resolution field on any screen except the transition screen for closing (resolving) the issue.

I was under the impression you wanted the field for the reason to be required. For that you need a plugin. If you flag the field as required in the field configuration scheme is is required upon creation. If you update the field configuration and add a new required field any issues you edit controlled by that field configuration will now be required.
