How to use the Smart Checklist Rest API?

[Simon Völk]

I want to clone an issue by using jira rest api. I know there is a website describing this but everything didnt work. There is no error, it gets the right checklist but it dont puts the given checklist in the new checklist. Does anyone has code that functions and successfully clones the smart checklist? Heres my function:

Hi @Simon Völk 

Welcome to the community.

Is the checklist option based on 3rd party app?

Does the documentation of the app have an API option?

Hi, yes the checklist is provided by 3rd party marketplace app(Smart Checklist by Railsware) on Jira Cloud. There isnt a separate public API from the app, Instead the checklist is stored in a Jira custom field. You write and read it via the standart Jira REST API by setting that custom fild on the issue.

Hi @Simon Völk 

This field can't be cloned, with the checklist options by the Jira ootb clone option.

You can make an API call to set the checklist after the issue is cloned or create an automation to achieve this.

See the documentation of the app how this can be done via the API.
