Enable or disable checklists in new projects by default

Jira administrators can choose whether newly created projects on the instance will have Multiple Checklists for Jira enabled or disabled by default.  If you would like checklists to automatically appear in a newly created project, move the switch to ‘Enable’. Move the switch to ‘Disable’ if you don’t want newly created projects to have Checklists. You can still enable or disable checklists for each project individually if you ever need to.

Enable or disable checklists in a selected project

Jira and project administrators can choose to enable or disable checklists in the projects they administer. Simply toggle the switch on or off for the projects to enable/disable checklists. This change will only cause the checklists to stop showing up in the Jira issues, but no data will be removed. If you ever decide to re-enable checklists for the project, all of the checklists that were created in the past will be there.

Open

The option to enable or disable a checklist in the given project is also available from the project settings menu: Project settings → Checklists- settings → Enable Multiple Checklists.

From this view, it’s also possible to enable or disable checklists per issue type. This setting will be applied to the particular project, so you can customize checklists for each one separately.
