How can I make parent from child mandatory?

I need to set the obligation to insert a parent when creating a bug in my custom process inherited from agile.

 

Is there some system? Existing extensions to install maybe?
Or do I have to develop one ad hoc to have this functionality?

    Unfortunately, at the moment there is no manner of doing this. It has been brought up many times:

    The structure of the ParentID doesn't lend itself to enforce a setting. Many people have requested this feature and so far nothing has come of it.
