Templates

Creating and Managing Templates — Set up a checklist template work item, configure the workItemTemplateId property, and control template merging behavior. Multiple Templates per Type — Assign different templates to different work item types or fields using the configuration property hierarchy. Importing a Checklist — Import checklist content from external sources into a Polarion custom field.

Workflow

Workflow Gates and Validation — Configure workflow functions and conditions to enforce checklist completion before status transitions. Freezing Checklists by Status — Stop template merging at specific workflow statuses so completed checklists remain immutable. Reset on Work Item Type Change — Handle checklist behavior when a work item changes type.

Access Control

Controlling Access and Permissions — Restrict who can edit checklists and under what conditions. Read-Only Mode — Lock checklists to prevent edits while keeping them visible.

Customization

Custom Icons — Replace default Font Awesome icons for checklist result states with your own choices. Assigning Notes to Items — Add notes and comments to individual checklist items for additional context.

Compliance

Baselines and Comparison — Freeze checklist state at specific revisions and compare baselines for audit trails.

Problem Solving

Troubleshooting — Diagnose and resolve common Checklist configuration and behavior issues.
If you are setting up Checklist for the first time, begin with Creating and Managing Templates to define your first checklist, then move to Workflow Gates and Validation to enforce completion. For end-user customization, see Custom Icons and Assigning Notes to Items.
