Transition Issue When a Given Item is Complete
This rule transitions the issue when a given checklist item is completed.
Limitations
If you are using Checklist for Jira ENTERPRISE, this rule will not work on issues with Global Checklists as Global Checklists are not synced with the Checklist Text field.
Modifications
This example uses the Field valued changed trigger. You can modify the rule to use another trigger. Do not use the generic Issue updated trigger because when a checklist item status changes, an “issue updated” event is sent by Jira which will make the automation rule run repeatedly.
