Mandatory labels in Confluence

Chris Wood

Hi,

Is there an option to ensure a label must be entered into the editor with confluence 5.2?

I have read other articles and there does not appear to be any concrete solution to this.

We can instruct users to fill out the label field but it would be nice if they could not save until atleast 1 is entered.

Thank you!

One of our developers put the following into the theme javascript file:

Hope this helps someone else.

$(document).on("click", "#rte-button-publish", function(e) {
            var labelbutton = $("#rte-button-labels");
            if($(labelbutton).length > 0)
            {
                if($(labelbutton).find(".trigger-text").text() == "Labels")
                {
                    e.preventDefault();
                    e.stopPropagation();
                    alert("Page requires at least one or more labels");
                }
            }
        });

/* CSS to not let last label be removed */
.aui-label.aui-label-closeable:last-child:first-child {
    padding-right: 5px;
    position: relative;
}

.aui-label.aui-label-closeable:last-child:first-child .aui-label-split-close {
    display: none;
}
