Checklist Template custom field

"Checklist Template" custom field is a single-select dropdown that allows picking a checklist template you want to apply to the issue. 

You can add the "Checklist Template" field to the desired Create or Transition screen in the Jira project/global configuration pages.

"Checklist Template" field is created, managed and modified by the Issue Checklist app.

The field does not require "Save checklist data to Jira custom field" option enabled.

  • Apply checklist template upon issue edit/transition
  • Get the list of checklist items for each checklist template through Jira REST API
  • Integrate above use cases with various Automation solutions
