FAQ

Why would I want to use this instead of Jira Subtasks?

Jira Subtasks are great. No argument about that. They do carry with them the same 'weight' that a regular Jira issue has. By that we mean, Jira Subtasks are just more Jira issues, which means they have all the same fields, and all the same workflows, and all the same restrictions.

The tasks created with the Simple Tasklist Plugin are much more lightweight than typical Jira Subtasks. Think of them more like quick todo items, or checklists, that allow you to spell out more easily what steps are required to finish a particular Jira Issue.

As such, they are ideal to be used when tracking simple things like testing steps, deployments, or other lightweight tasks that don't require all the overhead that typical Jira Subtasks bring with them.

Additionally, you're not limited to where you can use Simple Tasklists. This means you could easily use them as part of your Jira Subtasks as well!

Does it work with Jira Automation rules?

Yes, but only on Jira Server / Data Center.

It exposes 2 new actions to Jira automation. One to insert a task, and one to insert a template.

On Jira cloud, we have no integration yet, since Atlassian doesn't yet provide any extension points for the Jira Cloud Automation framework. Once Atlassian gives us the ability to integrate with Jira Automation rules, we will make it available.

Can I disable Simple Tasks for specific projects?

Yes.

You have the choice of either disabling the app for specific project, or doing the reverse: disabling it for all projects and then only enabling it for specific project. Ultimate flexibility.
