Add Checklist Based on a Custom Field Value
This rule add a checklist depending on the value of a custom field.
Limitations
If you are using Checklist for Jira ENTERPRISE , note that this rule cannot add/modify a Global Checklist. Global Checklists are added to issues via their context.
Modifications
This example shows how to add a checklist when the issue is created. You can modify the automation rule to work on another trigger, such as Issue transitioned. Do not use the generic Issue updated trigger because when the checklist template is added to the issue, an “issue updated” event is sent by Jira which may make the automation rule run repeatedly.
You can use an if/else clause to add different checklists associated with different custom field values.
