Field Configurations - Required Fields

[Orla Mears]

Hi all,

Literally pulling my hair out here, I have looked at all levels of material and info but not getting my issue resolved.

I have a project which is currently using an existing field configuration, which has some fields marked as required.

I created a new field configuration and scheme, then went to the project in question and then I go to:

Project>Project Settings

Fields>Actions Wheel/Cog

Edit Fields>Associate an issue type with a field configuration

However, this then changes the field configuration for every project that has this issue type associated!

I created the Field Configuration and scheme so I could remove the "required" flag on a field, but it's not working and I'm past trying to figure it out.

Hi @Orla Mears , What i suspect is you have added the field configured in the same field configuration scheme which is shared with multiple project.

Solution: Copy the existing field configuration scheme and also the field configuration, now the associate the copied field configuration to the copied field configuration scheme. Now make those fields optional which is required.

And this way the field will become optional only for your project and rest of the project won't be affected.

I hope it will be helpful for you. Thanks
