Changes to concurrent editing in panels
The way that Checklist fields save data in independent, sidebar and agile view panels has been drastically changed to help with concurrent edits. In most cases, multiple users will now be able to work on the same checklist concurrently without overwriting each other’s changes. Performing general actions, such as resetting the checklist or editing the whole checklist using the free-form editor, may still overwrite changes.
Integration with Automation for Jira
The Checklist changed trigger, Checklistcondition and Import template action were added to Automation for Jira to help you tailor your checklist-related processes.
To get started, see our use case page.
Creating items in checklist sections
In the past, to add new items to checklist sections, users had to create their items at the bottom of the checklist and then drag them to their intended sections. Now, users will be able to create items directly in the intended checklist sections.
New feedback board
We’ve opened up a feedback board at feedback.okapya.com where users can vote and comment on upcoming features!
In the past, we could only receive user feedback through feature requests in our support portal. This approach had a few issues:
The feature requests weren’t public, so users couldn’t vote or comment on other users' feature requests.
Most users that contact us are administrators, who act as an intermediary between end users and our team. A large group of end users who want a certain feature may be represented by only a handful of administrators, which could make some feature requests look less popular than they really are.
We want to keep improving Checklist to meet your needs. Feel free to post your feedback on feedback.okapya.com!
Alternatively, you can still submit feature requests to our portal.
Changes to the App parameters
Field Configuration features are moving to the App parameters
Note |
---|
Breaking changes |
The following feature flags have been moved from each individual field configuration to the global App parameters:
Feature | Required steps |
---|---|
Clever Changelog | If you disabled this feature in your field configurations, you will need to disable it in the App parameters after this release. |
Validate Global Items | If you disabled this feature in your field configurations, you will need to disable it in the App parameters after this release. |
Show Contact Support | This feature’s default value was changed from Enabled to Disabled. If you want this feature enabled, you will need to enable it in the App parameters after this release. |
Export feature visible by default
The Cloud export step, which required you to enable a module in order to have access to field configuration exporting, was removed. The Export feature is now always visible in the Field Configuration screens.
Feature flag added for Agile Details View module visibility in agile boards
Instead of managing app modules, a new feature flag was added to the App parameters that dictates if checklists are displayed in the agile boards' issue details view.
Global enabling and disabling of item to issue conversions
A new feature was added that dictates as a whole if issue conversions are available. When disabled, this feature has priority over each field configuration and will consider the feature disabled in all field configurations.
