Hi SylwiaK,
You can do this very simply by creating a UI Policy for each field and marking them as mandatory when the task is created manually.
Watching any basic ServiceNow UI Policy video will give you a quick idea of how to set this up.
If this doesn’t solve your exact scenario, let me know — I can guide you further.

Hi @SylwiaK
You can achieve this using a UI Policy on the Catalog Task (sc_task) table.
Create a UI Policy and add UI Policy Actions to make Assignment group, Short description, and Description mandatory.
UI Policies apply only on the form, so this will enforce the fields when a task is created or edited manually in the UI(client).
