Jira on demand: How do I make the Component field mandatory?

[Jacqy George]

1. How can I make the Component field mandatory

2. Is this on a project by project basis or System wide?

3. Can I set a default value for Component?

Thank you!

Any more information how this can be done on a per project basis for a non custom field such as component or fixVersion?
