Set default values for Checklist validator issues

[Deleted user]

Hi,

I added default values to the Checklist validator recently. But it actually duplicated my checklist item for my issues created (before i set default values to the Checklist validator). 

The outcome I would like to achieve are:

- When I create a new issue, it will have the checklist default values set for me (This works)

- It will not affect my issues created before I add default values to the Checklist validator (Did not work)

Is there a way to make this work, eg: Set to add default values to tickets created after certain date? 

Thank you.

Hi 

I have answered you on our support portal, but I will also provide an answer here in case it helps others.

In version 5+ of our App, you can now add Default Local Items which I believe is what you are looking for. Those items will only show up when creating a new issue, and will not automatically populate the existing issues like Global Items do.

Have a nice day!

Hello 

From my point of view, you want to "update" old issues with a specific value in a customField?

If this is the question, Did you try to do a JQL and a bulk action for updating?

Best regards.

Hi @Juan José Marchal Gómez

Thank you for your reply. No, I am working with this plugin: https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1211562/checklist-for-jira?tab=overview&hosting=server

My issue was that it actually updated the default values into my old issues which I only want to set the default value for newly created issues. The reason is because my old issues have their own checklist already (which is manually added).
