Add a Checklist Template on Issue Transition

Add Smart Checklist Templates to your issues based on Issue Transition ⚡️

☝🏼 IMPORTANT NOTE: Due to the upcoming transition to the Forge app, any automation relying on issue properties will need to be updated to use custom fields instead. Please review your automation rules and adjust them accordingly to ensure continued functionality.
