Hide CheckList Text on Issue View but leaving connected on screen option.

[Jarosław Tomkowiak]

Hi there.

I would like to add Herocoders checklist to issue by rest api.

https://cararena.atlassian.net/rest/api/2/{issueId}

I use PUT method to update value of proper field  for CheckList Text
It works, but also the field "CheckList Text" is visible on normal Issue View.

Is it somehow possible to hide it from Issue View, but leaving it connectet do screen.

If I unconnect field from screen it is imposible to update it by rest api.

Hi!

My name is Gracjan, and I'm Customer Support Lead at HeroCoders, the team behind the Checklist for Jira app.

As far as I remember, the Checklist Text custom field must be present on the Edit work item screen. Using API is not that often used. Can you provide with some additional details on what exactly you want to achieve? We might have some workaround for your case.

There is an option to add a Checklist Template to issues using labels. Instead of using Checklist Text, you could simply use that function to add label to the ticket using the API and that would apply specific Checklist Template to the ticket.

Let me know if that would be enough for you!

Cheers!

Hi Gracjan,

Please can I confirm that it is not possible to hide the Checklist Text field from the work item screen without losing the API functionality?

We are planning to create checklists on work items by sending API requests from another app, the checklists will have variable contents as determined by the source app so I do not think templates will work.

Having the checklist text field displayed on the work item creates clutter on the screen which we would like to be able to hide by default so only the actual checklist panel is displayed.

Thanks

This sounds more like a Jira limitation. I understand that having Checklist Text on the issue view is not ideal.

It works for automations, but for some reason, the Jira rest API can't get the data without a custom field present on the issue view.

Can you try testing the same approach, but adding Checklist Text on a different screen in that project? Do you use this put method on newly created issue?

Holesny, I don't think it is possible in a different way.

Maybe getting the Checklist data into automation(using API), and then using automation to update the Checklist Text? I know for a fact that automation has no problem with this.

Best Regards,

Gracjan
