Title field in Lists - cannot make the field required

My organization has been using Lists for its time tracking & workplan for a few years. Previously the Title field was required by default when a new list was created.

Recently when creating a new list (from an existing list on which the title was a required field), I noticed that the title field is no longer required. 

 

There is no option to edit the column to make the title required. 

 

Is there any workaround or JSON code that I can use to make this field required for my users? 

 

Thank you. 

  • Go to List Settings from the gear icon in the top right of the screen, click on the Title column and the select the Yes radio button for "Require that this column contains information" and click OK.

      Thank you, Rob -- that was simpler than I feared. I'm still not sure why it's not an option from the column settings, but now I know where it is. Much appreciated.
