How to Make a field Mandatory in Team Managed project in Jira cloud

[Mahanth Prudhvi P]

HI,

I was going through Atlassian Documentation and came across this-

Required fields

Use required fields to mark an issue type’s most important details.

1. From your project's sidebar, select Project settings > Issue types.

2. Select the issue type you want to edit.

3. Select the Required checkbox for any fields you want to make mandatory.

4. Select Save changes.

Once saved, new issues of that type can’t be created unless the required field is filled out.

But I don't see any checkbox/option as mentioned in the documentation to make a field mandatory or Am I missing something here.

Link for the documentation   https://confluence.atlassian.com/jirasoftwarecloud/customize-an-issue-s-fields-in-team-managed-projects-951392551.html

Can some one please clarify me on this. 

Thanks 

Mahanth.

I know this is not what you asked but I'm sharing it to help you

For Company Management Projects:

1 - the project settings.

2 - Go to "Field Configuration".

3 - Search for the field you want to make mandatory.

4 - Locate the field in the list and select the option to make it mandatory.

I Hope this helps.
