Hello there!
I tried to replicate the current behaviour by using JSU:

Jira Suite Utilities

But was unable to. According to our docs, his is the plugin suggested to add required fields to Jira:

How to make fields required in a workflow transition

Following this route, I was unable to replicate this dialog box. Could you clarify if you have followed the steps described here:

How to unlock a lock Jira Software field

To unlock the field and use it as a required field?

Thank you for your reply!

We do not have Jira Suite Utilities so I cannot make field `Required` in Workflow Transition.

Yeah, I've unlocked this field and set this field as required though the link you've provided.

But there is a problem till now.

Hi again!
I could find this suggestion that tackles a similar situation:

CONFSERVER-32906 | Allow input JIRA custom field - select list (single choice) if it is a required field when creating JIRA issue

Currently, only system fields are supported for issue creation within Confluence. The best approach would be to vote and watch the suggestion.
Voting increases the report visibility with our teams and watching it will keep you up to date with everything posted there!
