Clone a Jira issue, and see Smart Checklist content transferred over to your cloned issue.
To use this functionality you need to set up the "Checklists" custom field first.
Follow these instructions to do so.
If youâre on v.5.0.0 or higher - custom fields are set up automatically.
Use Case:
If you want to use one Jira issue as a template - you can clone it together with your checklist and reuse it further.
Create a JIRA ticket.
Populate it with a checklist that you want to re-use.
Save the JIRA ticket. That will be your template.
Once you want to create a new issue with the same checklist - simply clone the template ticket.
Checklists will be copied to the new ticket.
Troubleshooting
If the Clone didnât work - please make sure the âChecklistsâ custom field is set to Global context. Apply to all issues in Jira in a custom field configuration.
Go to System â Issues â Custom Fields
Choose âChecklistsâ field
Click Configurations
Click Edit Configuration
See âChoose applicable contextâ â choose âGlobal context. Apply to all issues in Jira.â
Click Modify
NOTE: click âmodify even if you have âGlobal context selectedâ. To make sure itâs properly applied after the custom field was added automatically.
