Filling out a checklist with metadata
If a checklist asks you to add meta information, you'll see the provided fields on top of the checklist. Checklist fields with a red asterisk are mandatory and must be filled out to finish the checklist.
If configured, we'll show suggestions of previously populated data in those fields. The suggestions appear once you click into a metadata field.
