  2. Find the "create checklist template" button and click it.
  3. Put the checklist template in the description fields (as the bullet points).
  4. Leave all other fields unchanges and click on the create button (the newly created requests servers only as a template for this given request category).
  5. Done. The checklist will now automatically appear for all requests of the same request type.
