We ar using a Tags custom field in out Jira. We would like to have this field be Required only for Defect issue types. Isthis possible? How would one set this up?

Hi!

Yes this is possible. When you add a custom field you can set what context the custom field applies to, such as the project, and the issue-type. If you then configure in that project's Field Configuration scheme and make that custom field _required_, when an issue of that issue-type is created that custom field will be added and required in the create phase.

You can find more details in the following documentations:

I hope it helps you!
