Optional field into required in a workflow

Question

Hi Community.

How can I change an optonal field into a required field in a workflow.

For example if an issue is set on "in work", an optional field should be set on required.

Thank you very much for answering my question.

If I have understood your question correctly, You will need to add a field required validator on the transition which takes the issue to "in work".  This is provided by a free add-on JIRA suite utilities which I believe is a must have add-on for every JIRA instance (Probably you are already using it)

Refer the below KB ,
