Field is required only on Edit screen but not configured as required anywhere

Hi everyone,

I’m facing an issue in Jira when editing an issue, one specific field is marked as required and prevents saving if empty but it should not be required, as I did not configure it to be mandatory. This happens only on the Edit screen.

What I’ve checked so far the field configuration scheme, status properties, validators on transitions, and even ScriptRunner Behaviours.

What other configurations or apps could make a field required only during edit?

Any suggestions on where else to check would be appreciated.

Hi @Lucy Antonyan  jan,

If you’ve already checked all the mentioned versions, then only one possibility remains: the mentioned field depends on another field. This means that when a certain field is selected, your field becomes required. This could be coming from Dynamic Forms → Field Visibility settings.
