Export the issues from Jira to a CSV file using the Backup Jiramethod. Checklist data will be preserved in the Checklist Text field.
Target Jira Cloud Instance
Install Issue Checklist for Jira if it is not already installed.
Ensure that the Save local checklist items to Jira custom fields global setting is enabled.
Find and note the custom field ID of the Checklist Text field.
Import the Jira data using the External System Import wizard. This will create checklist custom fields. On the Fields page, select Checklist Text as the corresponding Jira Field for the Checklist Text field in the CSV file, but leave the Map field value checkbox unchecked. This will ensure that to the field values are imported exactly as stored in CSV file.
The Checklist Text field will now be populated with data from the import. However, an automation rule needs to be run in order to re-sync the Checklist Text field with the UI. Go to Project Settings > Automation and click Create rule.
Create an automation rule:
Trigger: Select Scheduled.(The scheduled time does not matter – the rule will be manually ran once and then disabled.) Check the Run a JQL search and execute actions for each issue in the query checkbox and enter an expression that returns the imported issues (ex:
project = AK AND key > AK-10 AND key < AK-24).
Action – Edit issues, select Checklist Text as the field to be updated and enter (where 10039 is the custom field ID of the Checklist Text field.
Code Block {{issue.customfield_10039}} ---
Save and Run the rule.
After confirming that the issues were updated, disable the rule.
