Introduction

This page describes how to block workflow transition if there is an unchecked item on the checklist.

As a result, all checklist items must be completed to move the issue to another status (e.g. Done or Resolved).


This guide works for Classic (Company managed) projects only. Next-Gen (team managed) projects do not support workflow validators (Jira limitation). 

Prerequisites

None. "Save checklist data to Jira custom fields" option from Issue Checklist Global Settings does not influence this feature.
