Hi @Jayen Ashar 

I tried this, but this doesn't seem possible.

executing without JSON jsut provides a table with each individual comment as a row.

Rich text markup, like task items or emoji's don't show.

Hey @Jayen Ashar ,

I might be wrong, but I believe this is not yet supported > there's this open feature request related to action items and managing them via JQL or REST API: JRACLOUD-85414: Manage Action items in Jira via JQL or REST API or Automations 

I know people are mainly struggling with getting that via REST APIs or creating new action items with automation, so it might be the same case here, but I might be wrong as I haven't explored acli that much.

What you could also try is this question in the Developer community to see if anyone there has found a solution or workaround. 👀

Cheers,
Tobi

I vaguely remember someone asking about it over there a few months ago, and the answer was the same as @Marc -Devoteam- said... it's not supported yet in the ACLI, and what you've found in JRACLOUD-85414 confirms that.

Last year, in this thread where Action Items were first announced, I described how to declare them using ADF with the v3 REST APIs, but not much has changed since then for the v2 APIs or the ACLI and automations :(
