Default templates extended conditions

Build complex rules without 3rd party addons!

Think about it as Jira Automation for Smart Checklist.

If you have ever worked with Automation for Jira - you will easily get the concept and get started.

Just instead of Rules - we have Templates.

Trigger

Template creation is raised by a certain event. Following triggers are available:

  • issue created

  • issue updated

  • issue transitioned

  • none (no trigger applied and template just available for static manual import)

Conditions

The most popular condition is “Issue Type”. in the new version we’ve added a lot of new conditions based on various field values that might be useful for default template definition. Among them: request Type, priority, components, labels, reporter, standard custom fields, and so on.

Scope

Show Confirmation while removing the template new

While removing a template from the Admin view you will be asked to confirm removal so that you won’t accidentally vanish important templates.

New REST API methods for receiving Templates, Creation and Editing new

Added an ability to Create/Edit templates via REST API. Also, you can get a template by ID More details: Smart Checklist REST API v1.0

Checklist disappeared after clearing a checklist item fixed

Entering the edit checklist item mode and cleaning up the item’s text led to removing the whole checklist from the Jira issue view. Now it’s fixed.

Lines with ">" are lost when not linked to a checklist item fixed

When the quote was added to the raw item - then it was cleaned when the checklist loaded.

* raw item > quote text

Migration from old to new storage improved fixed

After a few reports of stuck or unsuccessful migration from the old checklist storage (issue properties, v4.16.0 and lower) to new (database, v5.0 and higher), we have improved our migration process and made it more stable and reliable.
