How to make worklog mandatory in team-managed projects before transitioning to another status

Summary
This is not possible in the TM project, even after adding the "Time Tracking" and "Original Estimate". I was not able to add them in the "Check an issue's field" when transitioning an issue between statuses.
Diagnosis
We have the following feature request tracked for making fields required in Team Managed projects:
Solution
Create a new custom field(number) and set the default value of the field to zero, then set a workflow rule to the transition using the "Check an issue's field" obligating this field to be different than zero. My test field in this example is called "TM Estimated time".
Custom field:
Workflow rule:
The side-effect of the above is that Jira doesn't show a message saying the value of the field is required and only after the value is different than zero the user will be able to transition the status.
My *workaround* in this scenario was adding a ***REQUIRED*** in the field name to make it more visible to the user.
When restricting the transition to Done I also used the "Check an issue's field", but this time the value must be *zero* to allow the transition.
