Project managers may want to keep a common text document so that they can quickly copy and paste the contents of a checklist. This can be done in the free-form editor using Markdown syntax.
Whenever a checklist is edited in the free-form editor, the following metadata is lost (but don’t worry, you’ll be warned first!):
-
Assignee
-
Priority
-
Due date
To build a checklist in a single document:
-
In a text document, write a checklist using basic Markdown syntax (for details, see Using the free-form editor).
[X] Create the list of tests that need to be done [ ] Write the tests >> To write the tests, you can do: - This - That [ ]* Run tests (mandatory!!) -
Copy and paste the contents of your text document into the free-form editor (for details, see Using the free-form editor).
-
Click Save. The checklist will be displayed:
Similarly, to extract the contents of a checklist from Jira, just open the free-form editor and copy the syntax to a text file.
