How to make Linked Issues Required for Issue Type

unknown

I am using the Procurement Template. 

I would like to create an Issue type of Renewal.  And when a user starts to create a new Renewal ticket, they are required to add a Linked Issue as a parent.  The goal is to easily see a Software purchase ticket and then all the Renewals for the ticket linked.  

That said, I can't find a way to do this from the Workflow Designer when adding a transition.  Or, at least, nothing appears to be the right thing.  

I have also tried the Linked Issue validator but can't seem to access any validators from the Designer.   

 

Would love any help people could give.

If you are on a company managed project, then there are a couple of ways to achieve that. If you have JMWE then:

1. From your project, go to project settings and then workflows
2. Edit the workflow which your issue type is associated with
3. Click on Diagram
4. Click on the create transition > validators
5. Add a validator > Click on the Linked Issues Validator > Add
6. Choose as field Linked Issues > Add
7. Publish the workflow

If you don't have an app installed (JMWE), then you can make the field required within the field configuration of that specific issue type. If your issue types share a common field configuration, then you should create a new field configuration, associate it with your Renewal issue type and then make the field required on the new field configuration.

Let me know if that helps
