We would like to categorize better time spent and currently work type is not required when entering time. How do we enforce it?

Would be nice to require description as well. I checked general time entry settings, and checked project level. It allows to add/remove fields but there is nowhere about making it required

To achieve this, you can create a custom workflow written in JS that will use the workflow.check() method. This will prevent the transaction when the requirement is not met.

Here is an example:

const entities = require('@jetbrains/youtrack-scripting-api/entities');
const workflow = require('@jetbrains/youtrack-scripting-api/workflow');

exports.rule = entities.Issue.onChange({
  title: 'Require-work-item-type',
  guard: (ctx) => {
    const issue = ctx.issue;
    return issue.workItems.added.isNotEmpty();
  },
  action: (ctx) => {
    const issue = ctx.issue;
    const workItem = issue.workItems.added.first();
    let hasWorkItemType = workItem.type ? true : false;
    workflow.check(hasWorkItemType, 'Work item type is required!');
  },
  requirements: {
    
  }
});
