How to make field Team required on Edit screen.

Question

Hi community,

question about Team field (Jira Cloud Premium).
Team filed is locked and can not be configured as required via Field Configarion scheme.

I found a way to make it mandatory on Crete screen - I used field validation upon creation and this workaround works (although very confusing for users).
But my problem now is how to prevent Team field value to be removed on edit screen (i.e. to prevent this field to be empty on when editing a screen).
I will be happy to get any tips. 
Thank you!

You might want to dabble a bit into the Jira Automation then :-)

In theory:

* Trigger : When TEAM is cleared

* Action: Get value of previous TEAM value in variable, can be done via {{changelog.Team.fromString}}

* Action: Update TEAM field via API or JSON with the Edit Issue field (not tested)

Hi, thank you for your answer.
The thing is I do want the field to be edited but not just be left blank.
