5.2.0

Version 5.2.0 was released on July 7, 2021.

Issue conversion

Although useful, the issue conversion had its limitations when it came to mandatory fields. With this update, you can now open the Create Issue dialog when converting items.

You can now also merge all the items for conversion into a single issue, instead of splitting them into separate issues.

Power Scripts

We’ve released a free connector app that lets you interact with Checklist fields using Power Scripts. To get the connector, visit this Marketplace page.

More customizable checklist headers

You can now customize the banners and progress bars of your Checklist custom fields just like their Proxy counterparts, from their appearance to the use of custom variables. We also added a feature that lets you choose whether the checklist’s progress only takes into account mandatory items, or all items.

Configuration through REST API

You can now implement a configuration by code approach for your Checklist and Proxy custom fields, thanks to our new REST APIs.

Improved JQL functions

JQL searches can now be scoped to only search within a given section heading, making it much easier to search for segments of your checklist. We've also added the ability to search for current user assignments in the itemSearch function.

Easier support

We added a new Support page that links to our support portal. On this page, you can also generate a support file containing data specific to the Checklist for Jira app, which will cut down on the back-and-forth during support.
