How to make the work description field mandatory Edited

[hanzi hesh]

Hi all,

When jira users log work for their tasks sometimes they miss to add worklog comment (work description). So, in order to omit this, I need to make the work description field mandatory. Basically whenever a user logs work, he/she should be asked to add work log comment as well. It would be a great support if I could get a solution on this :)

Normal flow that users follow to add worklog - Go to the relevant Jira ticket -> click on the three dotted icon at the top right corner of the screen -> log work -> then the log work screen appears (this screen is not a customized screen)

Field that needs to be mandatory

hello

you can use an addon like "Tempo". Tempo adds a "Log Time" button and you can make work description mandatory in its setting. 

also for some specific transitions in a workflow ypu can add a validator to check if the "work description" field is set.

as its not possible right now u can see here and vote for it:  https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/JRASERVER-8751
