Statuses per Project

Starting from v7.8.0, you can now manage checklist item statuses at the project level. This update brings more flexibility by:

  • Reducing clutter from globally irrelevant statuses.

  • Allowing teams to define custom statuses suited to their workflows.

  • Removing the need to involve a Jira Admin for every status update.

Global Settings improvements:

  • Statuses tab: A new Projects column allows to assign/unassign statuses to projects.

  • Checklist Templates tab: Only global statuses can be used in templates.

Issue view improvements:

  • A new Smart Checklist menu item: Manage Checklist Statuses.

  • A new Project Statuses modal with the possibility to create/update/delete project statuses.

Dark Theme Support for Jira 10

Smart Checklist is now compatible with Jira 10’s Dark Theme, delivering a consistent and accessible experience across themes.

Disable UI checklist editing

We have added a new property: com.railsware.SmartChecklistsEditingDisabled with the supported format:

{ "isEditingDisabled": true, "allowedGroups": ["project-admin", "admin"] }

Query parameters:

  • isEditingDisabled - true/false

    • Value: true - to disable the checklist for editing

    • value: false - to enable the checklist for editing

  • allowedGroups - the checklist will be disabled for everyone except the mentioned groups here

This allows you to disable checklist editing based on a workflow status condition and switch the checklist UI to read-only mode.
