Release notes 2022-12-08

What’s new and improved?

Filter for metadata NEW

You can now filter checklists by specific metadata values. For example, you can view all checklists created by your team in New York by filtering for the “Location” metadata field and the value “New York.”

This feature is finishing our first MVP for metadata in checklists for our customers. Read more about metadata here: Metadata for checklists in Atlassian Jira or Confluence.

Include metadata in exports and imports of checklists NEW

That’s more of a hygiene feature. In our first version we did not export your metadata configuration. Now we correctly export it and import it seamlessly again as well.

Enable and disable checklists per project NEW

You can now configure how checklists should be displayed per default in every project:

  • Always: Either an empty or a default checklist (see below) is displayed in a Jira issue.
  • On demand: The checklist panel is collapsed. It can be expanded with a click or it is shown if a checklist is assigned.
  • Deactivated: No checklists will be available in Jira issues for this project. Attention: All default checklists set below will be disabled!

This is how it looks in the app: Jira > Your project > Project settings > Apps > Checklist settings

Generate templates from checklists NEW

You can now use an ad-hoc checklist that you create in Jira or Confluence and create a checklist template from it.

Checklist templates can easily be replicated and reused both within Jira and Confluence, publicly with a link or mobile with our native mobile app. Learn more about checklist templates here.

Signature hint NEW

If your checklist requires a signature we’ll now show a small animation for users to indicate that they can use the area for their signature.

Your mouse cursor will also turn into a target cross. Happy signing.

You can now share checklist templates on our app with other users via deep-link URL. Users need to be logged in to open this link.

Statistics with PostHog NEW

We’ve started to ensure that we understand better how our software is used and where we need to improve. We’ve also updated our EULA and our info about analytics software.

While this is an actual screenshot of our dashboard, you may want to consider Churchill who famously said with his unfailing irony: “the only statistics you can trust are the ones you have falsified yourself.”

Auto assignment for epics / subtasks IMPROVED

We’re now supporting all issue types and epics and subtasks, as well as automatic assignments of checklists.

The automatic assignments help you to directly generate checklists with every new issue as soon as it is generated: Automatically embed checklists in Atlassian Jira.
