New features
CSV import/export through Jira’s base import and export processes
Checklists can now be imported using Jira’s CSV import process.
The import format follows Jira’s CSV import rules and requirements. For information about Jira’s CSV file requirements, see the Jira documentation. Each checklist item to import must follow our JSON format specified in Enhancing checklists using scripts.
Because the import is bound to Jira’s processes, there are some quirks when importing global items. For details, see Exporting/importing checklist CSV data.
Changes to the CSV export
Before v5.1.0, Checklist’s CSV export would split each item into three columns:
Checklist Item Name ([custom field name])
Checklist Item Completed ([custom field name])
Checklist Item Status ([custom field name])
Why the change?
The biggest reason is that the new export format is now compatible with how Jira imports CSV. Also, the new format is more flexible and allows you to add any metadata fields, such as the assignee and due date, and facilitates future improvements to the structure.
