How to make a custom field mandatory in 1 project

Joao Borges_ch4uwn

Hi there

I am new to JIRA and would like to know how I can make a field mandatory in a single project and not across all boards.

Unfortunately I tried to make a required field, and turned out that no one could create a ticket, due to this mandatory field that was not even showing on their boards.

Goal: Make this field below mandatory for only DEVELOPMENT project

Thanks

Hi Joao,

You can do that through creating a different Field Configuration for that project.

See this guide for assistance on how to do that:

This is exactly where i made my field required that affected all boards. So you are saying that i need to create a new field configuration for it ?

John Funk

You need a different field configuration for each project that has different required fields.

Even if it is just one field ? i still have to create a field configuration for it.

Hello @johnfunk, Thank you for this clear explanation. I am utterly confused about field configuration vs field configuration scheme. Screens vs Screen schemes. I tried following the above steps for custom fields . When I created a custom field, I was prompted to associate a screen. When I tried to create a screen for my project, I was prompted to create field configuration.
Please can you give me an overall big picture ? Heirarchy of how all these (screens, fields, configurations and their respective schemes fit in) And also please share best practices when you have multiple projects.
Appreciate in advance.

Hi Malini - Welcome to the Atlassian Community!

I am happy to help explain. Schemes are collections of multiple items under them.

For example, a screen scheme can be made up of multiple screens - one for create, one for edit, one for view. So you place your field on a screen which is a piece of the screen scheme.

Screen schemes are a little different because there is another higher level above that called Issue Type Screen Scheme. This allows you to have different screen schemes by issue type on a project. It is the Issue Type Screen Scheme that is attached to the project.

Here is some more information:

And here is a helpful diagram:
