Limitations

  • This example refers to Company-managed (Classic) Jira projects. See this page for information about using Automation in Team-managed (Next-gen) projects.

  • If you are using Checklist for Jira

    Status

    titleENTERPRISE
    , note that this rule will not respond to, and cannot replace items in Global Checklists. The rule uses the Checklist Text custom field. Global Checklists are not saved to the custom field and therefore cannot be referenced by the automation rule.

Tip

Modifications

Do not use the generic Issue updated triggerbecause when new checklist items are added, an “issue updated” event is sent by Jira which will make the automation rule run repeatedly.
