When I duplicate a rule, I don't immediately see an option to select required fields? (I could be looking over it?) ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/f/8/f8451369590e9c2ea2379ee2cea03066f65bfd0c.png) ---

Hello @willemdh! Thank you for reaching out here. According to our rules team, required fields are currently a feature of pre-built rules. We don't support configuring them for custom rules yet. When you duplicated the pre-built rule, it became a custom rule and lost the required fields associated with it. Though the team is considering making these fields user-editable for custom rules in the future! ---
