Configure Checklist Global Settings
Sync checklists to Custom Fields
Enabling this setting syncs local checklist items to the Checklist Text custom field. This custom field can be used to read or modify local checklist(s) for functions such as automation, bulk actions and search.
If you disable, then re-enable this setting, a one-time re-save of all the local checklist items will be performed to update content of the custom fields. The update may take several hours.
Allow multiple checklists per work item
Enabling this setting makes it possible to have multiple, local checklists on a single issue/work item.
You can disable this setting if you you do not want to allow multiple local checklists on an issue/work item. The "+" (add checklist) button will be removed from the Checklists UI.
If you decide to re-enable this setting, and the Sync checklist to Custom Fields setting is enabled, the system will re-sync the Checklist Text field, triggering an issue updated event for all issues/work items that have checklists.
Show empty checklist panel in work items
Enabling this setting means the Checklist UI is always visible, even if there are no checklist items.
If you disable this setting, the Checklist UI will not be shown if there no checklist items and you will need to click on the Apps button in the upper left corner of the issue/work item to add a checklist.
Apply checklist templates via labels
If this option is enabled, when you create or edit an issue/work item, checklist templates matching any of the labels added to the work item will automatically be applied.
The label must exactly match the template name and the template name cannot include spaces.
Removing a label from an issue won't cause a checklist to be removed.
Send email notifications for user mentions
If you are using Checklists for Jira PRO or ENTERPRISE, enable this option to send email notifications to users when they are mentioned in a checklist item. Emails are sent when new items are added, when items are edited or when a template is applied to the issue.
Note that currently there is now way for an individual user to unsubscribe from checklist notifications.
To modify the email subject line, click into the text box and type the desired text. Click the checkmark to save your changes.
When enabled, Checklists for Jira will read user's display name, but will not store it.

A user mentions themself
A user is mentioned while editing the checklist in the checklist editor
A user is mentioned while editing the checklist through the Checklist Text custom field.
