Overview
From the very beginning, our add-on provided administrators with an easy way to install and start using Checklists on their Jira instance with minimal configuration.
Initially, we used Jira Issue Property as the main storage for checklist data. The introduction of the "Checklists" and "Smart Checklist Progress" custom fields allowed users to access additional features. For more details, see our documentation โ Custom Fields Setup.
However, in response to growing user demand for new features and improvements, we have introduced a new storage system based on the clientโs Jira database, along with a unique "Smart Checklist" field of a unique type.
