Is there a way to automatically apply a pre-defined checklist template to an incident or task (or group of them) based on the substate?

I am looking for a way to automatically apply a pre-defined checklist template to an incident or service catalog task when a specific substate is selected.  We do QA on random incidents and tasks, and the substate determines which incidents and requests are QA'd and which are not. I know how to create the checklist template and manually assign it to an incident, but not automatically. Can anyone offer suggestions for this? Thanks!

You can defintely do it using a business rule.



When incident moves to a particular substate, using a business rule query the required template.



Also you can create an additiona field in template table to map to substates to easily identify which template is for which substate.



Please mark this response as correct or helpful if it assisted you with your question.

Any chance you could expand on that?   I'm not able to see the templates when creating a business rule.  



Could you provide a script example?
