The Run Now feature serves the purpose of instantly executing the checklist creation process for urgent situations, bypassing the need to wait for the next scheduled occurrence. In scenarios where you require immediate checklist creation for an issue, followed by the regularly scheduled occurrences, simply utilize the "Run now" functionality.

Characteristics of Run Now issue creation with a checklist

  1. Immediatly Task Generation: Create Jira issues with checklists at any moment.

  2. Depends on Recurring settings (Run Now is disabled if Recurring isn’t set)

    1. Project and Issue Type Selection: Select the desired project and issue type ensuring proper organization and alignment.

    2. Clear Accountability: Assign specific team members to recurring issues for transparent ownership.

    3. Prefill Issue Fields: Fill essential information in issue fields beforehand for faster creation.

  3. Enable&Disable recurring settings: This provides flexibility in managing automated task generation according to project requirements.

  4. Streamlined Reporting: Facilitate progress tracking and reporting for improved project visibility.

The feature Run now is out of reach (Run Now button is disabled) in case when the owner of the checklist selected a private project for that you didn’t have access. So you can’t Run now issues with a checklist in such projects.
