Displaying checklist progress bars on Agile cards

You can display a progress bar on Agile cards in Jira using the Checklist Read-Only Proxy custom field, which acts as a proxy to a real checklist.

Progress bars display information about the status of a checklist. They can also have labels that show the checklist name and completion percentage, or can even display custom text and use variables to pull up-to-date status information from a checklist.
