Making a custom field of TEAM mandatory

[Naomi Carey]

Issue I have is that the custom field team seems to be locked by JIRA itself is there a way to make this field mandatory?? 

AS when I create a bug that is not assigned to a team it will vanish from their backlog.

Hi @Naomi Carey 

You will need to add a validator to the create transition of the underlying workflow, using the 'field required' validator. The only thing to keep in mind as this will only make the field required on creation, so if the Team field is on the Edit screen, you may also want to consider adding this validator to other transitions.

See this answer for more information

Hi @Naomi Carey and welcome to the Community!

On the create transition of your workflow, add a Field Required Validator. It will make sure that the user has to enter a value for this field before he/she can create the issue.

Hope this helps!
