2. The issue summary template contains a checklist name and Jira field keys.

   1. The checklist Name is the name that you enter when creating a new checklist or copying an existing one. The best name for a checklist is one that reveals its essence. For example, if it is a daily checklist, you can give this name to it.

   2. In {assignee} field key will be a user name, that you select in the assignee field. That will show for whom is this task and who will fill the checklist.

   3. In the ({start date} at {start time}) fields keys will be a start date and start time for more understanding of when the checklist started and at what time it creates.

   4. You can delete a template of the Issue Summary for Checklist and write a custom one. But in this case, your custom issue summary will be the same every time, when the issue started without flexible ({start date} and {start time}).

3. After all these settings, the add-on will automatically create an issue with a checklist “Daily checklist for Bob Smith 25/Aug/22 at 9:00 AM”. Once the issue with a checklist starts, the add-on will automatically put an {assignee}, ({start date} and {start time}) in the issue summary. The Jira issue example you can see below.
