Introduction

Recurring Tasks is an automation app offered by Gebsun Software vendor. It allows users to schedule and automate creation of JIRA issues and sub-tasks.

Issue Checklist can be integrated with Recurring Tasks so it is possible to create and schedule recurring task that will contain a checklist. 

Prerequisites

"Checklist Content YAML" field must be present on the Create Issue screen.

• When creating recurring task (or editing existing), please find "Checklist Content YAML" field in the Create/Edit dialog and put checklist value into the field as shown on the screenshot below:
  
  
  
  

  Please note that "Checklist Content YAML" is a text field and it accepts checklist in text form (YAML format) as shown on the screenshot above. Read below for more information about getting YAML representation of the Checklist.

  Checklist text format (YAML)

  If you don't know how your checklist should look like in text format, please follow the steps:

  • Go to any issue page
  • Add checklist items through the Checklist panel as you usually do
  • Edit issue and find "Checklist Content YAML" field on the Edit Issue screen (this assumes that you already added the field to Edit Issue screen).

  • "Checklist Content YAML" custom field contains checklist in YAML text format that can be used to schedule recurring task.
    Here is the example:
    
    

    items:
      - text: --- Optional checklist header/title
      - text: first item
        checked: false
      - text: second item
        checked: false

• Wait for recurring issue to be created automatically (or create it from Recurring Tasks menu) and observe Checklist items present on the issue view screen.
