# New `jobspec` Entry Checklist
## Code
* [ ] Consider similar features in Consul, Kubernetes, and other tools. Is
there prior art we should match? Terminology, structure, etc?
* [ ] Parse in `jobspec/parse.go`
* [ ] Test in `jobspec/parse_test.go` (preferably with a
`jobspec/text-fixtures/<feature>.hcl` test file)
* [ ] Add structs/fields to `api/` package
* structs usually have Canonicalize, Copy, and Merge methods
* New fields should be added to existing Canonicalize, Copy, and Merge
methods
* Test the struct/field via all methods mentioned above
* [ ] Add structs/fields to `nomad/structs` package
* Validation happens in this package and must be implemented
* Implement other methods and tests from `api/` package
* [ ] Add conversion between `api/` and `nomad/structs` in `command/agent/job_endpoint.go`
* [ ] Add check for job diff in `nomad/structs/diff.go`
* Note that fields must be listed in alphabetical order in `FieldDiff` slices in `nomad/structs/diff_test.go`
* [ ] Test conversion
