Can I make fields required on the Edit and View Issue Screens but NOT on the Create Issue screen?

Can I make fields required on the Edit and View Issue Screens but NOT on the Create Issue screen?

Or is this not possible, and the closest thing I can do is to force a "validator", requiring a field(s) to have a value prior to advancing the Issue through transitions?

Required fields are set via Field Configuration - this is an all-or-nothing setting, so it's not possible to set it just for Edit screens - it'd be for both Create/Edit or neither.

You can utilise the validators method - see here for instructions on how to use them.

Just remember to set these for all status transitions past where the field is required. Otherwise a user could set the field for the transition then remove it again! The other option is to remove the field from the Edit screen and just make it customisable via a separate transition screen where the validator is added.
