Jira Automation JSON for ticking checkbox on an existing Checklist

Mattrix

I can successfully add a new custom Checklist to an issue with Jira Automation using this JSON:

{
     “Fields”: {
               “Checklist type”: [
                    {“name”: “item1”},
                    {“name”: “item2”}
               ]
     }
}

What I'm struggling with is the JSON to edit (tick) any one of these checkbox items.

Can anyone please help to advise (thanks).

Hi @Mattrix

I'm guessing you are using our app Checklist for Jira and I will provide the necessary information for it.

In version 7, we've added an Edit Checklist automation action that you could use to check existing items. If you don't have version 7, you can take a look at our documentation how to update existing items using Automation and REST API.

If your goal is not to update existing items, but rather overwrite the checklist with items that are already checked, simply add the following in your payload:

“Checklist type”: [
    { "name": "item1", checked: true },
    { "name": "item2", checked: false }
] 

Here's documentation of all available JSON properties.

Let me know if this helps!
