You can select Append or Replace to append or replace the current Checklist current items respectively. To append only the items that do not exist in the list, select the Only append items that do not exist check box. By doing so, you can prevent items to be added again if the same transition is applied multiple times. Tip If you select Replace with no items in the list, the Checklist is reset to its initial state. Hence, an empty Checklist is created if there are no global items. Warning title Global items are immutable If you select Replace, the Checklist items which were added as global items via the custom field configuration page are not removed. These items are immutable. If you want to completely replace the Checklist, ensure that no global Checklist items have been specified in the configuration page.
   Conditional rules	Configure the conditions that must be satisfied in order to perform the operations. If all the rules are evaluated to true, the operations are performed on the Checklist. If any of the rule is evaluated to false, the operations are not applied. You can currently build rules based on: JQL Query. The query is automatically augmented to run against the current issue only. If the rule is validated then the operations are applied to the Checklist. You can use a JQL filter (that you have designated as your favorite) or create your own query. Tip You can use JQL query to validate that Jira fields such as components or even custom fields have specific values. However, make sure that Modify Checklist post function is positioned after the re-index step otherwise the JQL will most likely not work. This is especially important if the function is attached to the issue creation state. It also helps when the function is positioned just before the issue event is raised. Warning The proposed JQL filters are the ones that are designated as favorite. If you want to make a filter available to the selection, ensure that the filter is marked as one of your favorites. Issue Label. If the issue is returned specific to an issue label. Issue Type. If the issue is returned specific to an issue type. Tip If no rules are created, the operations are always performed on the Checklist.
