Force remote backend

Require all future Terraform environments in a project to use the env zero remote backend, making workspace name a mandatory field on environment creation.

When Force env zero remote backend is enabled, all future Terraform environments in the current project are created with a remote backend, which is not enabled by default.

Enable this policy in Project Settings > Policies.

The Use env zero Remote Backend checkbox will be checked and locked from modification:

Workspace name required

After enabling Force env zero remote backend, all newly created environments require a workspace name. This applies to environments created through the UI and through API calls.
