Custom Required Field for Features and Requirements
It seems that only custom fields for Ideas can be flagged as Required Fields. I would like to be able to specify custom fields for features and requirements to also be required. For example, I integrate requirements with TFS as backlog items. (Features go as Features). I want each requirement to include Type as Bug or Product Backlog Item because these are the two types of backlog items I have define in TFS. I don't have many bugs start in Aha! but it happens and I want to push them into TFS as a bug work item. If left blank, the TFS item will be a PBI.
An alternative approach is to set a default value on a custom field. That way, it at least defaults to something and is less likely to be left blanks.

The status on this idea was out of date. It is now possible to specify required fields on new features and requirements. This support article explains in more detail.

Make sure the custom fields can be set in the new release when copying a release and all of it's features. right now that is not happening and it has caused me to not use the required fields in the release.
sorry, *don't fail unnoticed...
I'm piloting an integration with our Dev workflow tool and am having to get very creative using 'constant' field mappings ensure that synchs fail unnoticed. Would be super helpful to have A: Required fields and B: Default selections as Tom Suggests.
I would just like the ability to mark a custom field on a feature as required. It seems weird that I can mark a custom field on an Idea as required but not on a feature.
Really need this so I don't have orphaned features without my custom fields
This would really help with data standardization and reporting.
