Make field required on create subtask from dashboard in jira cloud

Digvijay Singh_nal1me

Hi Community. 

I am want to make a custom field required when

> Click on 3 dots on the parent issue present in Filter result gadget on Dashboard

> Click on Create subtask option > Create subtask screen opens in a new tab

> a Select List (single select) field should be required in jira cloud 

I have tried multiple ways to do it but with no success:

• Created a scriptrunner cloud behavior, by selecting a Parent project and issuetype as Subtask, and passing the below code:

getFieldById("customfield_12345").setRequired(true)

However, the field is not showing as required withn asterisk. 

Tried making the field required in validation, but it didn't give any validation on creating subtask from dashboard. 

Please guide further on how to create a new subtask linked to a parent on dashboard with a required field. 

Thank

Hi @Digvijay Singh and Welcome to Atlassian Community!

I assume you are configuring a company-managed project. In this case, there are two options to make a field mandatory when creating an issue from the dashboard: setting a Validator or making the field required in the Field Configuration.

• The first option is setting a validator on the Create transition.
  
• The second option is making the field required in the Field Configuration.
  

Why doesn't Scriptrunner Behaviour work?

Behaviours are not workflow properties. They are rendered when opening the creation form, but since the creation form is not opening from the dashboard, the Behaviours cannot render the mandatory fields.

If you have any additional questions or encounter any difficulties, let me know, and I'll do my best to help you.
