Clone checklists by cloning Jira Issue

Clone checklists by cloning Jira Issue

Clone a Jira issue, and see Smart Checklist content transferred over to your cloned issue.

To use this functionality you need toĀ set up the "Checklists" custom field first.

Follow these instructions to do so.

If youā€™re 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.

  1. Create a JIRA ticket.

  2. Populate it with a checklist that you want to re-use.

  3. Save the JIRA ticket. That will be your template.

  4. Once you want to create a new issue with the same checklist - simply clone the template ticket.

  5. Checklists will be copied to the new ticket.

Troubleshooting

If the Clone didnā€™t work - please make sure the ā€œChecklistsā€ custom field is set to Global context. Apply to all issues in Jira in a custom field configuration.

  1. Go to System ā†’ Issues ā†’ Custom Fields

  2. Choose ā€œChecklistsā€ field

  3. Click Configurations

  4. Click Edit Configuration

  5. See ā€œChoose applicable contextā€ ā†’ choose ā€œGlobal context. Apply to all issues in Jira.ā€

  6. Click Modify

NOTE: click ā€œmodify even if you have ā€œGlobal context selectedā€. To make sure itā€™s properly applied after the custom field was added automatically.
