Upgrading/Downgrading Between Checklist for Jira Free and Checklist for Jira Pro

Checklist for Jira is available in FREE PRO ENTERPRISEversions. All versions are fully supported. See this page for a comparison of available features.

• Migrating between versions automatically preserves all checklist data. Checklists, templates, values in custom fields, etc. will be immediately available once the upgrade/downgrade is complete.

• After upgrading/downgrading the checklist panel will be displayed beneath the issue Description. Users can move the Checklist to the right side panel if they wish. 

• Upgrading or downgrading between versions can be performed an unlimited number of times.

Free and Pro versions share most configuration settings, excluding validators and read-only custom fields (Checklist Progress, Checklist Progress %).  Any checklist workflow validators, or automation rules, JQL filters, etc that use read-only checklist fields, will need to be reset. Simply re-select the validator/field and save.

3. Install the app.
