How can I make a field mandatory to fill for JIRA users?

Question

Hi,

There are some fields in a main Ticket which I had already made mandatory to fill for JIRA users. Beside that, there are also some fields that i would like to make mandotory for users but I am not allowed to do it and I could not figure out the reason. Are there anyone who has a solution for this issue?

Thanks in advance!

Best Regards
Faruk

Hello!

You have 2 ways to make the fields required:

Field configuration theme

https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Jira-questions/Make-a-field-required-for-one-project-but-not-for-another/qaq-p/2722

and

Setting up validators in workflow at the issue creation stage:
This can be done using special plugins:

In both cases, you need Jira administrator rights
