Built-in Search

Checklist for Jira offers following built-in search functions from the … menu on the checklist. These functions redirects to Issue Search page and can be combined with other JQL clauses (see examples below).

...

Built-in search includes:

Function

JQL Expression(s)

Returns

Any items

hasChecklistItems = "true"

or

checklistItemsCount > 0

All issues with checklists items

Complete items

hasActiveChecklistItems = "true"

or

activeChecklistItems > 0

All issues with incomplete checklists items

Note
Note that the built-in Item text search will not work if the View Checklist permission is enabled. In that case, go directly to the issue search screen and insert the appropriate JQL.

Note
Checklist for Jira uses issue entity properties to provide perform JQL searches. Therefore, if a jira.permission.* workflow property is set on a workflow step, the search will fail.

...

Note

Exact searches require two sets of quotation marks. The first set works as brackets signaling to to Jira that a variable is being passed. The second set (nested) indicates that the enclosed text is the exact search term and need to be proceeded by a \ to escape the functions of special characters.

For example,"Checklist Text[Paragraph]" ~"\"abc\""
The square brackets used to indicate a checkbox or item status also need to be proceeded by \
- "Checklist Text[Paragraph]" ~"\" \\[X\\]abc\""
- "Checklist Text[Paragraph]" ~"\" \\[done\\] abc\"

Due to JRACLOUD-75866, it is not currently possible to search for incomplete items unless statuses are enabled ("Checklist Text[Paragraph]" ~"\" \\[\\]abc\"" will return all issues with an “abc” item, regardless of whether or not the item is complete).
