[HeroCoders Checklist] Validate checklist completed with mutliple checklists

Michael Brändel May 7, 2025

We use two checklists: "Definition of Ready" and "Definition of Done": 

Example:

DoR

- Acceptance criteria are given, clear, and testable

- Documentation & release notes updated

DoD

- Acceptance criteria are met and verified

- All executed tests are passing

 

On issue transition, we need to verify that all items are completed for one of the checklists. 

We use the HeroCoder Checklist plugin. Both checklists are stored in the custom field "Checklist Text", whether multiple checklists are enabled or not. 

How can this be done?

Hi @Michael Brändel 

My name is Gracjan from HeroCoders, the team behind the Checklist app.

We have a ready-to-use validator that blocks a transition unless all mandatory items, including items on both Local and Global Checklists are complete.

It could work in your case if you would set up one of these checklist as optional, so the validator won't take both checklists into the consideration.

We can join on call if you have some additional questions. You can schedule one here.

Cheers!

Thanks Gracjan for your quick response. 

So it looks like the only benefit of enabling the multi-checklist option is the visual effect of having a separate progress bar per checklist? 

Your proposed workaround will not work if some of the items in each list are mandatory and some are not, right? I'm afraid this is the case for us. 

The better solution, in my point of view, would have been to enable separate completion indicators in the "Checklist completed" field. 

Example for "Checklist completed": 

DoR: All Completed
DoD: Not Completed

Same for the Checklist Progress fields. 

So I guess the only option left is to query each single checklist item, isn't it? How to do this?

Cheers, Michael
