How do I set up Definitions of Done per issue status type (eg. Requirements, In Dev, In UAT etc)

Question

We have different DoD's for issues dependant upon the status type.  For example, a ticket in Requirements/Design will have different DoD's to a ticket sitting in Ready for UAT.

I want the relevant DoD's to appear on the ticket only.

How can I do this ?

Hey, @Kylie Alvarez

If you are still looking for a solution, perhaps you'll consider an app like Smart Checklist?

You can set up default templates per issue type. Or - and this may be a bit more helpful in your case - you can set up an automation that appends checklists based on status change (issue transition). This way an issue will have a relevant DoD for Requirements/Design and Ready for Development.

Hope this helps!

Hi @Kylie Alvarez

You might consider checklist apps that allow you to create a list of items inside the issue view.

I can recommend our Issue Checklist for Jira Pro, or Free plugin that allows you to automatically add a checklist template based on issue type using Default Templates.

This is how Checklist looks like inside the issue view:

In the Checklist Tab that can be found in the left navigation bar, you can Create a Checklist Template and set it as default with a button available next to your newly created checklist.

In the next step, you can choose in which issue type this checklist should be automatically applied.

I hope that clarifies your request. In case you have any other you can contact us through our Contact Center here.

Cheers!
