A lot of customers like to have a set of mandatory fields here and there for controlling and/or reporting purpose.
I can understand that some fields should in anyway be required for the good processing of the items but where to stop?
Are you in favor to keep required fields as minimal as possible or at the opposite your prefer to have most of the fields under control should this create extra work and reduce flexibility?

Always minimise them, the aim of Jira is to track issues, and that's best done by asking people to fill in everything they can without forcing them to have to think!
