Add a checklist in a subtask?

[Linda Korpås]

Is it possible to add a checklist to a subtask in a company-managed project? And if so how do I do that?

Have a lot of subtasks and each would have a specific checklist attached.

Hey, @Linda Korpås 

Unfortunately Jira doesn't have this functionality out of the box. You can use an app like Smart Checklist to add checklists. They are quite functional as you can mention people, add dates, likes, or use specific formatting.

You can also save them as templates. 

And you can use Automation for Jira to auto-apply templates based on issue type or workflow transition. This saves a lot of time;) 

Hope this was helpful and let me know if you have any questions.

Hi @Linda Korpås

As mentioned by others you would need a third-party checklist app to achieve this.

you might consider our Issue Checklist for Jira. Free app, which allows you to create multiple checklists inside of the issue view.

You can add a checklist automatically to newly created issues using Checklist Templates. You can also use automation in many different ways to enhance your work.

In case of any questions, you can contact us directly here.

Cheers!

Hi @Linda Korpås , you would need an add-on app for checklists. Here are some to consider - marketplace-checklists . You will find some free options with limited capabilities as well.

Okey thank you, I will look in to that. 

Do you know if it is possible to add checkboxes in a Description field like this? The same as inserting a table, numbered list etc but also add checkboxes to a numbered list for example? So I can add a list of to-dos or a list of choices in the description field and these can later be ticked? 

[Jack Brickey]

no, I know of no such solution.

Okk thank you @Jack Brickey I will look in to the apps available.
