How to make custom fields mandate while submitting an idea?

[Sagithya]

Hi, I want to make a few custom fields mandate when someone adds an idea to the JPD project. I couldn't find the 'Required' checkbox anywhere under field settings.

As far as I'm aware, currently, it's all (like @Rob Mkrtchian indicates) or nothing with regards to required fields on idea creation. I would hope that there is something on Atlassian's JPD roadmap (although I don't see anything....).

Indeed for the moment it's all or nothing - that's part of the small product improvement we could make through the year so it wouldn't appear on this roadmap. We haven't prioritized it yet as this feature is relatively new so it's still version 1, but that's definitely an espact (the form in general) of the product we will improve at some point.

Project Settings > Features > Create Ideas > > Enable "Make all fields mandatory"

This will make ALL of the fields in the "Create Idea" form required. Some fields aren't supported (and therefore aren't shown on the form), like in your example screenshot.

Navigate to Field Configurations:

Go to your JPD settings by clicking on the settings icon in the bottom left corner.
Under the "Settings" section, select "Field Configurations."

Select or Create a Field Configuration:

Choose the field configuration that is associated with your JPD project or create a new one if needed.

Edit Field Configuration:

Click on the field configuration you want to edit.

Configure Field Requirements:

In the field configuration settings, locate the custom fields that you want to make mandatory.
Click on the field name to edit its configuration.
Check the "Required" checkbox to make the field mandatory.
Save your changes.

Associate Field Configuration with Project:

Once you have configured the field requirements, you need to associate the field configuration with your JPD project.
Go back to your project settings.
Under "Issue Types," select "Field Configuration."
Choose the field configuration you just edited or created and associate it with your project.
