Is there a way to set Billable hours as mandatory field?

Question

Hi all,

We have added the groups required for this field that comes with Tempo Timesheets in the Permission schemes. Field is visible, all fine from this perspective. In our current JIRA Server version this field is mandatory and we would like to keep it that way also for Jira Cloud. Is there a way to do that?

Hi,

Just to share with everyone. I asked also the Tempo team and this is their response, apparently its not possible.
"The billable field is an optional field that cannot be set as required.
However, you can use Tempo Accounts to track billable hours as well and the Account field can be set as required.
Please see the below tutorial on how to track billable hours with Tempo Accounts:
