Projects | Timesheets: Ability to set description field as mandatory
There should be an option to make the description field for users completing their timesheets mandatory. This would enable Project Managers and Finance Managers to view more detailed information other than the number of hours worked on tasks.
Currently many users do not fill in the description because it is not compulsory, which means that this detail is lost and decisions surrounding resourcing of Projects are not as accurate.
This is critical to businesses where R&D is a large area and therefore efficient Project Management is key. As this may not be critical to all business using the Projects Module, there should be an option within the business/financial settings to turn on mandatory descriptions.
Similarly, this should be extended to all user fields. For example, within expense claims it would also be useful to be able to toggle an option to make the description and segment mandatory.

When submitting expenses or expense claims, the wording "Optional" beside the description field suggests to the expenses submitted that they can ignore this field where in fact this is one of the most important field for recording and accounting purposes.
