How to create a custom field for Issues in Kanban

[Ian Balas]

Hey guys.

I'm new to JIRA.

I want to add a rule when creating issues in which the user has to set a due date in order for the issue to be created and put in a sprint. Is there any way to do this? Would I have to create a custom rule for this? Is it even possible to do in Kanban template?

Thanks,

Ian Balas

Hello Ian,

JIRA already have a field called Due Date so you don't need to create a custom field, but only to make the already existing field required.

To do it, you can configure the Field Required Validator to always require the issue reporter to set a value to the Due Date field:

- Navigate to your project > Project settings > Workflows > Diagram
- Select the first transition of your workflow (create)> In the panel opened, select Validators
- Select the Field Required Validator and properly configure it to be required on the create transition
- Publish the changes you have performed to your workflow

Please, let me know if this is the option you were looking for.
