New Feature Announcement

Global Checklists are currently in BETA and will be available in Issue Checklist for Jira ENTERPRISE once released. Contact our support team if you currently use Issue Checklist for Jira PRO would like to participate in the Beta.

This field has been deprecated. Please use labels integration to add Checklist Templates to issues.

Checklist Template

The Checklist Template field is a single-select dropdown that allows the user to pick a checklist template they want to add to the issue. When the field is updated, the checklist is added to the issue. Once the checklist has been added, the field is automatically cleared.

Uses

  • Can be used with automation, for example to add a checklist template when an issue is transitioned.

  • Can be added to issue Create, Edit or Transition screens to allow users to add a template checklist.

  • Can be used when bulk editing to add a checklist template to multiple issues.

  • Checklist items for each checklist template can be accessed via the Jira API.

More Details

  • If the Checklist Template field is updated when the Enable multiple checklists per issue global setting is enabled and there is already a checklist on the issue, then the selected template will be added as a separate checklist.

  • If the Checklist Template field is updated when the Enable multiple checklists per issue global setting is disabled and there is already a checklist on the issue, then the selected template will be appended to the existing checklist.

How to Find the Custom Field ID

When using custom fields with automation, scripts, etc. you will need the ID number of the custom field.

To find the ID of the custom field:

  1. Log in as a Jira Administrator.

  2. Go to Jira Settings > Issues > Custom fields.

  3. Search for the indicated custom field.

  4. Click the More menu (…) and select Edit Details.

  5. Copy the URL of the page. The URL will end with the ID number of the custom field.

Custom fields can be duplicated by some errors or rare scenarios. If you are experiencing issues with accessing custom fields, make sure you are referencing the custom field that is currently used by Issue Checklist.
