We’re excited to roll out a new version of our app, delivering five powerful enhancements inspired directly by customer feedback. This release strengthens our feature foundation and gives Jira teams even more flexibility to tailor checklists to their real-world workflows.
Planning ahead just got easier.
In addition to standard relative dates, templates now support negative (minus) relative dates. This allows checklist task deadlines to be automatically set before the Jira issue due date.
Why this matters: You can ensure preparation tasks are completed on time - without manual updates.
Example: If an issue is due in two weeks and a checklist task is set to –1 week, the task will automatically be due in one week.
Perfect for reviews, approvals, and pre-work that must happen ahead of deadlines.






Every team reads dates differently-and now your app can match that.
Admins can now define a custom date format from General Settings, choosing the format that works best for their organization.
Here are all date formats supported by Tick:
No more adjusting to Jira’s default format-your data, your way.



Long checklists are easier to manage when they’re clearly structured.
With the new separator feature, you can quickly divide checklist sections:
---This makes complex workflows clearer and easier to follow at a glance.





Take template automation to the next level.
You can now assign templates not only to projects and issue types, but also to specific request types.
How it works:
This ensures every request starts with the right checklist, every time - no manual setup required.








Checklist tasks can now include optional descriptions.
This helps teams understand exactly what needs to be done - without cluttering the checklist view.




Every feature in this release was built in response to real customer requests. The result is a more flexible, more powerful checklist experience that adapts to your workflows - not the other way around.
