In order to see these custom fields on your Jira issues, you will need to add them to your screens. To add custom fields to screens in company managed projects, you will need Jira admin permission. If you do not have this permission, reach out to your organization's Jira admin for help. Before considering this, though, we recommend reading our best practices documentation around custom fields.
You can use all of these fields in various automation rules. Follow the link to find out more.
Didit tasks completed percentage
This is a number type field which will show the percentage complete but without the "%" symbol. The field value is 0 until a user completes or skips a task.
Didit checklist completed
This field will turn from "no" to "yes" when a checklist is completed.
Didit skipped tasks
Contains the number of skipped tasks in the checklist. This could be useful to send alerts if too many checklist tasks are skipped. Field is value is 0 until users skip a task.
Didit last comment
Contains the last note on a checklist. Not the last comment on an individual checklist task. It's important to know that this works for public checklist comments as well as ones in Jira and/or Confluence. The field is empty until a user leaves a note.
This field contains a maximum of 244 characters. If the note has anything over that the field will not update.
Didit metadata
Changes after updating metadata. The field is in a text format. The field is empty until a user gives a value for a metadata field. If there is no metadata in the issue's checklist, the field will remain blank.
If there are multiple metadata fields in the checklist, Didit will list them all in the "Didit metadata" custom field, separated by commas, with a colon after the metadata field name. The field will populate with these values after any edit to a metadata field.
Since this is a text field, the value will look something like below.
Team member name: Timothy Jones, Training program name: Compliance training program, Version: 64
Checklist completion summary
This is a text type field containing the checklist completeness as a fraction and percentage.
JQL
You can search for Jira issues which have a "Checklist completion percentage" of over or under a certain amount. This can be useful if you want to quickly see which Jira issues need your attention. You could also make this into a filter subscription to remind assignees of the checklist tasks.
Boards
You can display the completion status of checklists on Jira boards in company-managed projects to get a better overview of checklist statuses faster. You can use either of the above fields in the "Card Layout" section of your board configuration.
General field behavior
- If you replace the checklist with another one, the fields will reset to their default values
- The fields will not reset if a checklist is removed from an issue, only when a new checklist is added
Notifications
We have suppressed notifications for updates related to the Didit custom fields. You can still trigger automation rules based on these field updates.
