Making the assignee field required


By default, the assignee field has an unassigned option, which is equivalent to making the field optional. If you went to check out field configuration, you would have realized that you could not make the assignee field required as there is no such option available.

In this recipe, we will look at how to disable the unassigned option, effectively making the assignee a required field.

Getting ready

You cannot disable the unassigned option if you have:

  • Issues that are currently using that option for the assignee field

  • Projects that have unassigned set as the default assignee

How to do it…

Proceed with the following steps to disable the unassigned option:

  1. Log in to JIRA as a JIRA administrator.

  2. Navigate to Administration | System.

  3. Click on the Edit Settings button.

  4. Scroll down and select the OFF option for Allow unassigned issues and click on Update, as shown in the following screenshot:
