Description
The 'Fields Required' validator checks whether values for specified fields are set for a given transition. If the validation fails, the transition will not be completed.
...
You must select mandatory fields, when configuring the transition. For example:
JSU default behaviour is to apply the context settings, this means that a field that is required by this validator, but having no valid context for the current issue, wont be checked. Thus you may select to ignore the context, in that case a field will be required by this validator, even if its context is not configured for the current issue.
For information on how to configure a validator in JIRA, see the JIRA documentation.
