[rt-users] Making a field mandatory for ticket resolution.

[Jacob Helwig]

It sounds like http://wiki.bestpractical.com/view/MandatorySubject could
be modified to do the checks that Huw is looking for.  Unfortunately, my
JavaScript-fu is weak, so I wouldn't be able to quickly/easily suggest a
way to do the needed modifications, but it sounds like it would be able
to provide a base/starting point.

My boss wanted the same from me.  As a sledgehammer fix, I set it so
that any action taken on a ticket defaults to 10 min by editing
local/html/Ticket/Update.html

I'm sure there would be a way to add something to the UI (i.e. a
javascript snippet) but I've been pulled off onto other projects for the
moment.
