Automation: get smart value from custom field Checkboxes to create a Checklist

Question

Hello everyone,

I have a custom field: checkboxes with 5 values (Test1, Test2, Test3. Test4, Test5).
I want to create an automation that creates a checklist based on the values filled in. This can be any number of values (Test 1, Test2, Test5,...). The filled in values should be transferred to a checklist.
I have managed to create the checklist, but unfortunately it seems to take the stored values and not the filled in ones (see screenshot below)
I mean that if test1 is not selected in the form, test1 is still displayed in the checklist

I guess there is something wrong with the smart value.
Can anyone help me to fix this?

Thanks in advance!

Hi @DST

I don't think this is possible, but lets think a bit different.

If you would create an empty check list template and add that to each issue of the issue type in your rule.

Then advance branch the rule with a smart value {{issue.<checkboxes-field>.value}} and name give it a name

Then log this info to see if its the correct info.

Then on the edit action use * [open] {{variable-name}}

Hi @Marc -Devoteam-

thanks for your reply!
This was my fault, i did the screenshot with the wrong settings.
I already changed the settings to:

* [open] {{testone}}
* [open] {{testtwo}}

it creates the correct checklsite but only with the default values in the custom field and not with the filled in ones. So if test2 is not selected, it will still be created in the checklist.

Do you have any ideas for that?
