Reopen Issue If Any Checklist Becomes Incomplete ENTERPRISE

Limitations

  • If you use the ENTERPRISE app, and have Global Checklists enabled, then changes to checklists will not trigger the Jira issue updated webhook, and therefore cannot be used to trigger automation. As a workaround, you can create an automation rule that runs on schedule to check if any checklists have become incomplete.

  • The rule below will only work for both Company-managed and Team-managed projects.

  • The rule below will check the combined completion status of both Local and Global Checklists. If you want to check the completion status of Local Checklists only, use the first rule.

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

  2. Click Create rule.

  3. Select the Scheduled trigger and select the appropriate time interval. Click Save.

  4. Click New condition and select Advanced compare condition.

  5. Put {{issue.Checklist Progress}} as the First value; does not equal as the Condition; and Empty as the Second value. This will ensure that the rule is only applied to issues that have checklists. Click Save.

  6. Click New condition and select Advanced compare condition.

  7. Put {{issue.Checklist Progress %}} as the First value; does not equal as the Condition; and 100.0 as the Second value. This will check for issues where the checklist is incomplete. Click Save.
