There are some instances where the 'NONE' in the Issue Security Drop-Down list must be removed. By default in JIRA you cannot do this from the web interface. See JRASERVER-5332 - Security level 'None' appears even when field is marked required for a discussion on this feature request.
This workaround will apply to all Security drop-down lists in the instance.
Ensure that the Velocity file is backed up before changing it.
To remove the field
Open the file
<atlassian-jira/WEB-INF/classes/templates/jira/issue/field/securitylevel-edit.vmfor editing.Delete the following lines:
1 2 3<option value="$!noneLevelId" #if ($noneLevelId && $security && $security == $noneLevelId )selected#end >$i18n.getText('common.words.none')</option>
