Why doesn't 'Time tracking' show up as a field option when setting workflow validation rules?

All other fields are selectable options when creating a field validation workflow rule... for some reason, 'Time tracking' is not.

(BTW, this is a team-managed project)

hello,

Welcome to community :) 

I understand due to which you are unable to make the worklog mandatory in TMP projects.

You can however try this workarouund if it helps : https://support.atlassian.com/jira/kb/how-to-make-logging-hours-field-mandatory-in-team-managed-project/

Thank you,

Prachi

Hi @Nick Rally

Welcome to the Community!

It is because you are using a team-managed project.

The Time tracking field isn’t available for validation rules in team-managed projects because it’s a Jira system field, and TMPs only support custom fields created within the project for validation workflows.
For more control, use automation rules or switch to a company-managed project.
