Emailed Request Configuration on Project with Issue Collector that has Required Fields

[Kevin McCarthy]

Hello,

I am in the process of setting up a Jira project that we want to have both emailed requests, and also issues created via an issue collector functional, these will be the main way tickets are created for this project. Several of the fields in the issue collector must be required, and the only way I have found to do this is by marking the fields as "required" at the field configuration level for the project. However this also adds them to our request type for emailed service requests, even though they are not fields for our emailed request issue type. This prevents the emailed service request, request type from being in a valid configuration for the email channel.

I was wondering what the best way to work around or solve this issue might be. I had hoped that creating a dedicated issue type specifically for emailed requests would solve the problem but this does not appear to be the case.
