How to make Time Tracking "required?

[Jonathon Crowley]

In a Team managed Project, using a Marketing Work Management template,  there are options to add fields under Issue Types. 

Under Context fields, one of the available fields is Time Tracking.

However when added, there is a tickbox called "Required" blanked out, with a popup saying I can't edit is its name or change if its required. 

Q: How do I make Time Tracking required?  

Note: I have sufficent privileges to change anything in permission schemes for example.

hello @Nikola Perisic thanks for providing the link.

I was going through the same issue and trying to solve the problem, but after following the indications in the thread, it seems that the solution does not apply to team managed projects.

I installed the JSU extension suggested in Brant's post https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/5048/jsu-automation-suite-for-jira-workflows?hosting=server&tab=overview but this doesn't support team managed projects.

I also installed the JMWE extension suggested by JSU, supposedly working with team managed projects https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/292/jira-misc-workflow-extensions-jmwe?tab=overview&hosting=cloud&utm_campaign=crosssell but again, this doesn't allow to add a validation rule to the workflow.

Can I kindly ask if you happen to have any alternative option to validate the time tracking field?

Many thanks in advance, kind regards

Thomas
