      Issue Summary

      When calling the Jira Cloud REST API to retrieve field configuration details, the Summary field incorrectly shows "isRequired": false in the response. This contradicts the UI behavior, where the Summary field is marked as Required—as it should be.

      Steps to Reproduce

      1. Navigate to Project Settings > Screens.
      2. Edit a screen associated with an existing project.
      3. Create a new tab on the screen (name it anything).
      4. Move the Summary field from its original tab to the newly created one.
      5. Call the following API:
        GET /rest/api/3/fieldconfiguration/10000/fields?maxResults=100
      6. Locate the Summary field in the API response.
      7. Observe the value of the isRequired parameter.

      Expected Results

      The Summary field's isRequired parameter should be true, matching its Required status as shown in the UI.

      Actual Results

      The API response shows: "isRequired": false }}…for the {{Summary field, even though it is visibly required in the Jira UI.

      Workaround

      Currently there is no known workaround for this behavior. A workaround will be added here when available
