Convert a checklist item into an issue

Space integration between Issue tracker and Checklists lets you create an issue out of a checklist item right from the checklist.

This functionality can come handy when you need to make a quick list of tasks, and then convert some of the items to full featured issues, to which a responsible member can be assigned and which progress can be tracked.

To create an issue out of an item

Mouse over the item and click Convert to issue:

An issue named after the item list will be created in the Issue tracker.
To add details and assign someone to the issue, choose Issues from the sidebar, and open the issue.
