Quick Start
You can access Checklists from a Jira issue
As soon as Multiple Checklists for Jira are installed, you will notice a new section in your Jira issue view called ‘Multiple Checklists’. When you click it, a checklist with the default name ‘To do’ will appear. You can add items to it by filling in the Add a new item field. You can also rename your checklist. If you don’t want to use checklists in a certain project, you can switch them off within this project.
On the new Jira issue view, you might need to click the checklist icon first to show checklists.
Add as many checklists in one issue as you wish
To create another checklist, click the plus button [+] on the right side of your Jira issue and then click Add a new checklist.
In order to add checklist items, just click on the Add a new item input and start typing. You can approve the addition of the item with an [Enter] or via the checkmark button available below the input on the right-hand side.
The limit of the checklist items that you can add to one checklist is 32KB and this is dictated by the Jira guidelines. If this is a problem for you, you can add another checklist in the same Jira issue.
Edit checklist title and items
If you have edit permission for the Jira issue, you can also edit the checklist’s title and items. Click on the title or relevant checklist item and adjust the text. You can confirm with the check mark button or by pressing Enter. You can click the cancel button to revert to the latest saved version.
You can also remove the checklist item altogether. To do so, use the bin icon on the checklist item after hovering over it.
Reorder checklist items
Each item on your checklist can be moved to a different position. To do that, drag and drop the item, using the icon next to the checkbox.
Delete checklists
In case you no longer need a specific checklist, you can remove it from an issue. Please note that all checklist items created within this checklist will also be deleted.
Expand and collapse all checklists
Click on the button next to the plus to expand or collapse all checklists within your Jira issue.
