You can’t make a field required only on a specific transition

The problem

Jira’s field configuration makes a field required everywhere or nowhere. There is no native way to require a field only on a particular workflow transition.

Who runs into this

Teams that need clean data at closing time without forcing every field on creation.

How Patcher fixes it

Patcher lets you require a field on a specific transition only. It stays optional during normal work and becomes mandatory exactly when it matters.
