I love using the Description field in my JIRA tickets. Currently I'll use it for a description of the issue and making notes of things. I also sometimes include a To Do List in there to show which steps of the ticket I've already done and which I haven't done. Currently I do something like this:
(/) to make a Green Checkmark emoji: Step I've already done
(x) to make a Red X: Step I haven't done yet.
The problem with that is that the Red X (x) looks like a failure when really what I want is to show that I haven't attempted.
It would be cool if JIRA added a Empty To Do Box Emoji to make To Do lists more clear. What do you guys think?
Example Ticket: Do the Laundry
(/) Put laundry in washer
(/) Put laundry in dryer
([]) Fold laundry (empty checkbox)
(x) Didn't wash blue shirt, forgot to put it in with the others (Red X failure checkmark)
