Tip

Modifications

This example shows how to add an additional checklist when the issue is created. You can modify the automation rules to work on another trigger, such as Issue transitioned. Do not use the generic Issue updated triggerbecause when the checklist template is added to the issue, an “issue updated” event is sent by Jira which will make the automation rule run repeatedly.

Adding a Second Checklist

  1. Ensure the Apply checklist templates from issue labels global setting is enabled.

  2. Note the name of the template you wish to apply, and ensure that the name does not include spaces.

  3. Navigate to Project Settings > Automation (or Jira Settings > System > Automation rules).
