Making a custom field mandatory for a specific project in JIRA

Often we have project teams seeking the addition of custom fields and request that it be mandatory for only their project. These projects essentially share the same JIRA workflow, issue type, field, permission schemes but have different screens to enable display of the new custom fields. Now comes the tricky part - making the custom field mandatory would start throwing up errors while creating issues in the screens where they are not even available -

Error while attempting to create an issue in a different project

I checked out discussions on the subject in Atlassian Community but most answers suggested having a different field configuration altogether. This was not really an option in my case - didn't want to add clutter. That's when I came across an option in the custom field configuration that allowed specifying the projects to which a custom field needs to be available -

Choose applicable context for the Custom Field

This resolved our issue entirely and we are now able to add custom fields and make them mandatory for specific JIRA Projects.

SSL VPN: Configuring and Using Forticlient on Ubuntu, creating a Launcher

Is your primary OS at home Linux and do you use Windows only to connect to your work PC over VPN or to attend meetings? Do you often wish to connect to your work VPN from a Linux PC? If your answer is 'Yes' to the above questions, I have an answer if your workplace uses Fortinet SSL VPN. Note that it's possible to connect to Fortinet and other VPNs like Cisco VPN from Linux through the inbuilt network manager by installing additional tools but this post would focus on using the standard Forticlient for accessing the resources on your work network. Obtaining Forticlient The most important thing to note w.r.t. using Forticlient for Ubuntu (or any Linux distro) is to note that the client is not publicly available for download from the official website. You will have to ask your IT department to download the client for you, in case they haven't provided it.
