# Frequently Asked Questions

## How do I make a field required?

To make a field required, you must configure the proper advanced setting in Ketryx. As the organization owner, navigate to the [advanced settings](https://docs.ketryx.com/reference/advanced-settings).

For the [Approval Workflow field](https://docs.ketryx.com/reference/advanced-settings#approval-workflow), configure the **requiredFieldNames** to include the fields that you'd like to make required.

For instance, for a requirement, you may want the _Introduced in version_ field to be required. To do this, copy the following JSON into the _Approval Workflow_ field:

```json
{
  "REQUIREMENT": {
    "Resolved": {
      "isApprovable": true,
      "approvalMeaning": "REVIEWED",
      "requiredFieldNames": [
        "Introduced in version"
      ],
      "approvedTransitionStatus": "Closed",
      "invalidatedTransitionStatus": "Resolved",
      "shouldTransitionWhenApproved": true
    }
  }
}
```

As a result, in Jira, you should see the following message if the _Introduced in Version_ field does not have a value and you try to approve the ticket: "Before you can approve this item, the following required field must be filled out: Introduced in version"

The approval of this ticket will be blocked until the required field is filled out.
