I would like certain fields to be required before user is able to transition the issue status

Question

How do I define certain fields as "required"/mandatory in order for he user to able to transition the issue to a new status.

Example: if the user wants to change the status of an issue to "Done" he won't be bake to do so before completing the "Log hours" field.

As of now, there isn't any satisfying workaround unfortunately. You can upvote the related feature request: As a user, I want to have the ability to customize required fields and add yourself as a watcher to be notified when it's released. Someone mentioned a workaround using automation rules in the comments, you can give it a try if you think it would suit your needs.

Hope this helps,
