Adding different JIRA checklist to different issue types

[-]

Hi, 

We have just got Checklist for JIRA and have a number of different checklists we would like to add to our issues. The problem I'm facing is when I add the checklist it's the same one across all issues and I cannot find/know of a way to make an issue have an individual checklist ie for Java Dev in comparison to QA.

I Wayne,

I think that there are different possible solutions to your problem. You could create different Checklist Custom Fields for the different checklist types and then configure their context to only appear on the projects/issue types that you want.

Also, you could use the Checklist Workflow Function to pre-populate the Checklist based on some JQL conditions.

It would help to know more about your specific use case.

We addressed this using the method mentioned by Yves... leave the checklist blank then build it dynamically in a post-function.  The drawback is that these items can be removed, unlike the default list items added in the custom field config itself.  But it works around Jira's in-project context limitation.

Hi Corey,

Not sure if it could suite your use case, but you can restrict the Checklist edition by setting Edit Roles in the checklist configuration. Only those with the role could delete/edit the items while others could check them.

Hi, unfortunately, this isn't possible OOTB. See this ticket for more details: https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/JRASERVER-6851

If you have Script Runner, you can use this for making it happen: https://scriptrunner.adaptavist.com/4.3.1/jira/behaviours-overview.html
