Hi Erin&#xD;
&#xD;
    We added workflow capability for tasks (and requirements) in v4.1, so please make sure you're running v4.1 and then you can:  - Go to Administration &gt; Planning &gt; Task Workflows  - Click on the 'Steps' link for the current Task Workflow  - Click on the status that you want the effort to be mandatory for.  - On the page that appears, set the 'Required' flag for the appropriate effort fields  - Click Update/Save     Regards     Sarah </description><pubDate>Tue, 18 Feb 2014 02:42:42 -0500</pubDate><a10:updated>2014-02-18T02:42:42-05:00</a10:updated><link>/Support/Forum/spirateam/issues-questions/833.aspx#reply1526</link></item></channel></rss>
