Setting required fields based on attribute choice

We have the need to create a defect template that when an attribute selection is chosen, then another field is required to be filled in.

Example:

Fields:

Filed against: a, b, c
CustomField: text field

If FILED AGAINST = A
Then CustomField is REQUIRED

If FILED AGAINST does not equal A
Then CustomField is not REQUIRED

Is this possible within RTC 2.0.0.2?

this can be done by coding your own precondition - saying that save workitem action fails on this particular work item if the field filed against has a certain value.

What exactly do you mean by "code my own precondition"? Where and how would I achieve this?

Well there are many ways to do it - but I would suggest you follow the instructions in this video on youtube - and when you get that up and running I can provide with a code sample on how to do it:
