Issue Checklist for Jira is now Checklists for Jira. New name, same great app. Please go here to see our new documentation site.
Clone Checklist when Work Items Are Cloned
Clone with Jira
To clone a work item with a local checklist, select Clone from the … menu.
Statuses of cloned checklist items are set to unchecked/open.
Note that cloned checklists take precedence over default checklists and the Checklist Text field content. For work items cloned with a non-empty checklist, neither the default template, nor the checklist from the Checklist Text custom field will be applied.
Clone with Automation
If you are cloning an issue with a checklist in an automation rule:
Ensure the Sync checklists to Custom Fields global setting is enabled.
Ensure the Checklist Text field is included on the Create issue screen.
Navigate to Project Settings > Automation (or Jira Settings > System > Automation rules).
Click Create rule.
Select the appropriate trigger.
Add any needed conditions.
Select Clone work item as the action.
Set the Project, Issue type and Summary.
Name the rule and turn it on.
Clone with Elements Copy & Sync
Clone with Easy Clone for Jira Cloud
