How to block transition if Original estimation is empty

Question

I need to make sure that the developers are adding the Original estimation and Due date while moving a task to In progress. How can I ensure that?

I tried to do it with transition rule. But I couldn't do it as the Original estimate field was not there in the Field drop down

Please see the screenshot. Please help me to resolve this.

@Hareesh If you switch to a company-managed project to solve this, the answers from @Brant Schroeder and @Deepanshu Natani will be very helpful.

@Hareesh unfortunately, as very well @Michel Neeser has stated, this is not possible on TMP since original estimate is not available on the dropdown menu.

Hi @Hareesh

I feel like this is not possible in a team-managed software project, as it doesn't seem possible to add a rule based on the "Original estimate" field (as you said, it is not selectable in the dropdown). What you could do is creating a custom field, which should be visible in the dropdown after adding it. Alternatively, you could switch to a company-managed project, but I assume this is not an option as your current project is already used actively?
