Info

To use this functionality you need to set-up "Checklists" custom field, or "Smart Checklist Progress". It depends on what main criteria you'd like to search for.

...

If you set up "Checklists" (multi-line text field) and "Smart Checklist Progress" (single-line text field) which are both custom fields - you can easily apply all JQL search patterns.

Infotip

You can use Assignee search w/o needs of setting up "Checklists" custom field! Check Search for checklist by assignees article

Search examples

  • To search for issues with opened checklists (not all checklist items completed).

    • Type in JQL: "Smart Checklist Progress" ~ "-Done"

...

  • To search for issues with ALL completed checklists

    • Type in JQL: "Smart Checklist Progress" ~ "Done"

...

  • To search for all issues that contain checklists on your instance:

    • Type in in JQL: "Checklists" (or cf[CustomFieldID]) is not EMPTY 

...

  • To search for checklists containing specific items:

    • Type in in JQL: "Checklists" (or cf[CustomFieldID]) ~ "your item value":

...

Note

NB! At this moment, searching for Jira issues where a specific checklist item has completed/ incompleted status is unavailable.  This happens due to the following limitation: Jira does not index the special character of - and + 

No Format
Special characters

+ - & | ! ( ) { } [ ] ^ ~ * ? \ :

Special characters aren't stored in the index, which means you can't search for them. The index only keeps text and numbers, so searching for "\\[Jira Software\\]" and "Jira Software" will have the same effect - escaped special characters ([]) will be ignored in the search.
