WARNING

IE and EDGE users may encounter issues with Jira 7.3.x in specific use cases when using inline edit mode or while browsing over many issues. We are currently working with Atlassian and trying to resolve the issue.

Fixed in this release:

• Project Import failure.

Fixed in this release:

• Internet Explorer and Edge users experience sluggish behavior eventually leading to browser needing to restart. Fix introduced in version 2.3.7 had side effects in the Microsoft browsers when users were in project page and browsing over multiple issues.

Fixed in this release:

• Checklist fails to initialize properly in Project and Search View. In Jira 7.2.3 and above, Checklist only displayed the "Show More" link on fresh page load.
• Email addresses are now preserved in the item description. It would previously be converted into the @mention formatting.

Fixed in this release:

• Page is blank and doesn't finish loading. Some external add-ons caused this problem to appear when use concurrently with Checklist.
• Item in wrong checklist is marked as checked. This problem arose when multiple checklists were used on the same issue.

Fixed in this release

• Losing items when saving while "Hide Checked" item is activated (Bug #41)

New in this release

• Added feature to reset checklists (remove all items) in a post workflow function
• Support for Checklist v2.x syntax when creating new items.
• Export/Import function using Checklist v2.x syntax to allow reuse of current templates.
• Added configuration parameter "Show Status Menu" to display item status menu as soon as the checklist is being edited.

Fixed in this release

• Checklist not always properly initializing when displayed in a Dialog.
• Checklist displaying items in random order after a bulk import.
• Improved performances with some operations on large checklists.

Fixed in this release

• Fixed issue where all items cannot be removed (Bug #24)

New in this release

• Projects containing a Checklist CustomField can now be imported into another Jira instance (Request #20)

Fixed in this release

• Removed Rich Text Editor appearing when using Checklist in Jira 6.4 and above.
• Error preventing from moving an issue containing a Checklist CustomField to another project with a different Field Configuration Scheme.

Fixed in this release

• Crash when removing an option from the Checklist customfield configuration pages. The transition from limited text item length (255 characters) to unlimited length uncovered a bug in Jira which has been reported as JRA-41087. The workaround for the crash does not impact the add-on functionality but prevents Checklist to properly report the number of issues using the option that is targeted for removal. So, be aware that while Jira may report that no issues are using a particular option, there may be indeed issues using it. Please be careful when deleting an option.

New in this release

• Removed limitation of 255 characters for a checklist item (Request #15). Checklists entered before version 2 will automatically be converted as they are edited. However, this change is not backward compatible meaning that once version 2 is installed and used to update checklists, re-installing an older version of the checklist add-on (e.g. v1.4.1) will fail to read checklist items that will have been updated using v2.0.0. Since this is a breaking change, please backup your data before upgrading to the new version.

Fixed in this release

• Export of checklists to Excel. Checklists exported to Excel do not have the checkbox anymore, are properly lined up and are displayed in a single row. (Request #18)

• Tested with Jira 6.3.1

New Features

• Checklilst Searcher. It is now possible to search for checklist statuses such as when a checklist has been completed or when a specific checklist item is either checked or unchecked. (request #1)

Improvements

• Updated for Jira 6.1. Configured the Checklist custom field to be properly displayed when selecting the custom field type. Checklist is considered a standard type while the Checklist Proxy is an advanced one.
• Display Optional Items in Column View. Now displays the items differently if they are optional when Checklist is displayed as a column in the Search View.
