How to set custom fields mandatory in a particular jira project

[jayanthiR]

Iam new to Jira .Assume I have 50 Jira Projects in my Jira Instance. I want to make my custom fields mandatory/Optional in particular jira project. Any time any custom fields can be changed to required (*) or optional in a project.

Creating Field configuration  and Field  configuration schemes and assigning them to the project is not a advisable way.

I'm looking forward for all the approaches and ideas to achieve this functionality . Thanks in Advance .

@jayanthiR , you will need to use a 3rd party solution for this that allow for deeper control. We use Scriptrunner, specifically the behaviors functionality, to achieve this. You will be able make specific fields required in specific situations.

Look here for more information:

Thank You Peter for your immediate response . But I expected to achieve this without using tool. Like by creating new user installed plugin and uploading in Jira.

Plugin should do  setting custom fields mandatory/optional  for any projects present in the Jira Instance.

@jayanthiR , the other out of the box solution (field configurations) is the one you identified as unadvisable. I'm not a developer so my experience with developing a custom plugin is just about 0. :) If you want the head that way, post in the Atlassian Developer community.
