Hello, I just wanted to ask if it is possible to configure the project 'Description' field in JIRA so that it can be permissioned to allow a minimum of 150 characters to be entered. I basically want to avoid teammates adding in very short descriptions for their work etc. Thanks

Hello , 

Jira native doesn't support this feature , but as alternative you can user jira automation rule 
set trigger : issue created and use compare condition where you can set 150 value then add action to notify user that too short description

Hi @Giles

Jira doesn’t natively support a minimum character limit for the "Description" field, but you can enforce it using the following methods: 
1) By using custom script validator(JMWE app) in the workflow transition.
2)By using script runner custom script
