acceptance-criteria for task

Question

I would like to use acceptance criteria into tasks, as for stories. Is it possible to add this?

In fact I would like to have check box to be able to follow step progress of a task. If it's not possible to add acceptance criteria, is there a way to add some subtask like acceptance criterias check box?

It might be way more comfortable to use one of the existing Checklist apps from the Marketplace, e.g., Issue Checklist Free delivered by my team.

Issue Checklist Free gives an option to:

* quickly create sets of checkboxes directly from the issue page (so every issue can hold different checklist)
* define checklist templates and load/apply them immediately to the issue
* define "default" checklist for a given project and issue type, so all new issues matching the criteria gets new and the same checklist automatically
* require all checklist items to be completed before transitioning/closing the issue (this is what Petter explained above)
* copy/paste checklists between issues quickly
* split checklist into groups using headers
* use Markdown formatting to make checklist items more expressive
* mention users and add due dates
* see checklist progress in various places (including Agile boards)
* and many more

I'm happy to answer all the questions if you have any.

Cheers,
Jack

Hello @fmandry

Per your description, I believe you would like to add some checkboxes to your issues and make sure all the checkboxes are flagged in the issue to allow the issue to progress in the workflow. Have I understood it properly?

If that's the case, you can add the custom Checkbox field to your issue screens and add the Field required Validator to make the field required in your issue view. These would be the steps:

- Navigate to JIRA Settings > Issues > Custom Field

- Click to create a new Custom field > Select Checkboxes

- Add a new Checkbox Custom field for each checkbox you want to configure, instead of configuring a single custom field with all the checkboxes. The reason to do it is because the Validator can only be applied to a single checkbox, but not for multiple checkbox with the same custom field (Check JRACLOUD-67128 for more details).

- Navigate to your project > Project Settings > Workflows > Click to Edit your issue Workflow(s)

- Click on the transition(s) you want the validation to be performed > Validators

- Add the Field required Validator with the checkbox field

- Save your workflow draft

Let me know if this information helps.
