How to make field Team required on Edit screen.

[Veronika]

Hi community, 

question about Team field (Jira Cloud Premium).
Team filed is locked and can not be configured as required via Field Configarion scheme.

I found a way to make it mandatory on Crete screen - I used field validation upon creation and this workaround works (although very confusing for users).
But my problem now is how to prevent Team field value to be removed on edit screen (i.e. to prevent this field to be empty on when editing a screen).
I will be happy to get any tips. 
Thank you!

Hi @Veronika ,

The "Team" field currently doesn't allow the field validation you mentioned, a workaround I can suggest would be to add the field only to the "VIEW" screen scheme, and remove it from the "EDIT" screen to prevent it from being edited by anyone else.

Hope this helps.

Hi, thank you for your answer.
The thing is I do want the field to be edited but not just be left blank.

You might want to dabble a bit into the Jira Automation then :-)

In theory:

* Trigger : When TEAM is cleared

* Action: Get value of previous TEAM value in variable, can be done via {{changelog.Team.fromString}}

* Action: Update TEAM field via API or JSON with the Edit Issue field (not tested)
