This rule allows you to replace the current checklist item(s) with a new item(s) when the issue transitions.
Limitations
This example refers to Company-managed (Classic) Jira projects. See this page for information about using Automation in Team-managed (Next-gen) projects.
Modifications
This examples uses the Issue transitioned trigger. You can modify the rule to use another trigger such as Field value changed. Do not use the generic Issue updated trigger because when new checklist items are added, an “issue updated” event is sent by Jira which will make the automation rule run repeatedly.
