How do I set a Bug field as required or optional?

FiRa Administration

I'm setting up a list of custom fields for Bugs. Users consistently miss filling out important fields in these Bugs, so I'd like to set some of these fields as required prior to submitting the bug. Is there a way to do that? I've looked through the Custom Fields documentation, but either I'm missing something or this is something basic that isn't implemented.

@FiRa Administration - this resource on specifying field behavior will be your friend!

You'll want to adjust an existing field configuration to get this done, or create a new one (depending on your exact business requirements).

Hey Dan,

Thanks for getting back to me. Before submitting this question, I created a new field configuration and assigned it to the required Screens (I think). Still, the new field (Specification) isn't appearing in the list of fields for Bugs. I'm not sure where the gap in behavior is here. Basically here's what I need to happen:

User creates a new Bug via the Backlog
As part of this Bug, the "Specification" field needs to be filled out
If the "Specification" field isn't filled out, then an error is thrown at the user

Despite following the steps in that link you provided (both before submitting the question and after), I'm not seeing the new "Specification" field, just the old one I created from the Bug view. Here's what I'm seeing:
I'm not sure if I'm just mixing up terminology, or what.

Does this help explain what I'm trying to get at?

Thanks,

Aaron

@FiRa Administration - hi Aaron! You'll want to ensure the custom field "Specification" is added to any screens your project uses, or issue layouts (if you're using the new Jira issue view):

Hope that helps!

@FiRa Administration - ha, just realized your computer/mobile autocorrected my name from Dave to Dan 😉
