Features
Tasks Right in your JIRA Issues
Create Simple Todo Items right in your JIRA Issues. Place the new {task} macro in any field with a Wiki renderer (like Description or a Comment), and a new checklist item is added to the Issue.
Quick Entry & Editing
For quick entry of tasks, just add or edit a task directly from the Issue sidebar, or use the convenient keyboard shortcut "/t" to insert the {task} macro for you.
Simply Click a Checkbox to mark items as Done
No Need to edit an Issue to mark a Task as done. Simply click the checkbox and that's it. It doesn't get any easier than that.
Task History & Audit Trail
Tasks keep track of their own history, including who created a task, edited, checked or unchcked, or deleted it.
Reusable Task Templates
Have some repeatable tasks?
Create a new Task template from an existing Issue, and insert it easily in any JIRA Issue from a convenient dropdown.
Content Templates
Need more than just tasks in your templates?
Create a Content template with any markup you wish to accompany your tasks, from {panel} to bullet lists, and headings.
Workflow Conditions
Feeling paranoid about tasks not getting marked done before resolving an Issue? We've got you covered with a fancy Workflow condition that prevents exactly that.
JIRA Automation Integration
Integration with the JIRA Automation add-on gives you the ability to automatically insert tasks or templates into issues based on the rules you define.
Agile & Service Desk Integration
Integration with JIRA Agile and Service Desk allows you to see tasks from Agile Boards, or share Simple Tasks with your Service Desk users.
Rich Text Editor Integration
From JIRA 7.3 onwards we integrate with the JIRA Rich Text Editor. Just click a button to insert a task, or to convert existing content like bulleted lists to tasks when editing an Issue.
"My Tasks" & "Project Tasks"
All tasks that mention a user via standard JIRA mentions are collected in a convenient "My Tasks" view for each user. Of course, Tasks can mention as many users as you want.
Full Text Search via JQL
All Tasks are indexed and searchable via JQL. Find Issues with any tasks at all, with open tasks, or with resolved tasks easily through 3 separate JQL searchable fields.
