Hi @Alan Oliveira ,

Welcome to the Atlassian Community,

you can add workflow validator or In the field configuration to make the label field mandatory.

Associate the field configuration to the Task Issue type for the required project.

Workflow Validator > add this validator to the task workflow

Accept the answer if it helps

Thanks,

Hi Sachin!

Option 1:

Didn’t work

 

Option 2: Where can I find Workflow Validator?

Hi @Alan Oliveira ,

Basically, it works like this:

A Workflow contains of Steps (Status) that are connected by Transitions. For example, moving an issue from New to Open would be a transition. Transitions themselves can be configured to have Conditions, Validators and Post Functions. 

@Sachin Dhamale suggested adding a Validator and I agree with that approach. 

Your second screen shows a number of Workflows – you would have to edit one of them and then pick a transition to add a Validator.

Hope that helps,
 Oliver

HI @Oliver Siebenmarck _Polymetis Apps_ Can you also explain how to proceed with Sugestion 1: Field Configuration, please?

Hi @Alan Oliveira ,

Making a field required using field configuration is slightly more blunt compared to a Validator. When you make a field required using field configuration, then it's required everywhere. 

Here is the documentation on how to do that. The page is very detailed, so feel free to skip ahead to Make a field required or optional.

Hope that helps,
