You can set any input field, including custom fields, as a required field. When a field is required, users must enter data in the field before TestTrack can save any changes. You can also define default values for fields. Required fields and default field values are project-specific.
Required fields must be populated for all instances of actions. For example, the Found by field is required and does not have a default value. When multiple reported by records are created for a single issue, the Found by field must be populated for all records.
Note: Field-level security can be used to restrict access to required fields. If a required field is hidden for a security group, users may not be able to add items, such as issues. As a workaround, you can grant access to a required field when users add items and hide the field when users edit items. You can also allow users to save items without setting values in required fields they do not have permission to edit. See Setting required field options.
1. Choose Tools > Administration > Required Fields & Default Values.
The Required Fields & Default Values dialog box opens.
2. Select an item Type. The fields displayed depend on the selected type.
If you are configuring requirement fields, select a requirement type to configure fields for the type.
Note: By default, required fields and default values are the same for all requirement types. You can override the default setting and configure different fields for each requirement type. An asterisk indicates the requirement types that do not use the default settings. Clear the Use values from <All Requirement Types> option to change the settings for the selected type.
3. Select the field group from the list.
4. To set a required field, select the corresponding check box.
5. Enter or select a default value for the field.
6. Repeat steps 2 through 5 to set required fields and default values for other groups.
7. Click OK.
