      Atlassian Update - 26th March 2021

      Hi everyone,

      Thanks for your feedback on this problem. We appreciate the time that you took to help us be better.

      Though not ideal, this behaviour in-product today is not a bug. Proposed behaviour of Screens here are a feature request and have to be prioritised against other requests.

      The layout and fields that appear on screens must be defined in the Screen configuration. This also includes any required fields, to learn more about defining your screen (See Defining a Screen).

      We're using bugs to track any issues that prevent our features from being used as intended.

      But we also understand and appreciate the expectations you have of our product so we have converted this to a feature suggestion instead.

      Please watch this Jira issue for future updates as we continue to work on improving our product.

      Regards,
      Andrew Trieu
      Atlassian

      Problem Definition

      As a user, I modify my field configuration and turn a 'field' into a Required Field. I expect this required field to be visible on my Issue Create and View screens as I will not be able to proceed with issue creation without populating this field.

      Currently required fields need to be defined in the Screen view otherwise they will not be visible. This means I will not be able to proceed with Issue Create unless I define that field in the Screen View.

      Suggested Solution

      Automatically may required fields visible in the Issue Create screen.


      Steps to reproduce

      1. Modify field configuration and make Affects Version a required field
      2. Create new Scrum Sample board
      3. Click on + to create a new epic

      Excepted Result

      Required fields show up

      Actual Result

      Affects Version is missing

      This does not only apply to the Affects Version field, but any required field.
