Jira API Checklists templates

Question

Good morning,

we have created a new custom field for checklists which is a create feature!

I’m currently working on a program which automizes a process. The idea is to insert a lot of checklists every time a new issue will be created.

For this I’m using the REST API. We would like to standardize these checklists by using templates:

I know there is a good overview website of all commands and categories but I can’t find a way to get all templates.

My Question is, is it possible to get all items from the templates with a GET curl?

Best regards

Hi Johann,

I am a developer for Checklist for Jira (Entreprise) on Data Center and will help you achieve what you need!

To answer your question directly, you can use the Get single template API endpoint to retrieve a single template and its items.

I think it's worth knowing that we also have simpler ways to import templates on issue creation:

* You can use the Import Template automation action in a Jira Automation.
* You can use a Modify Checklists workflow post function in a workflow transition.

Let me know if that helps!

Kind regards

The app in the screenshot does not look like any of our (HeroCoders') Cloud checklist apps.

@Johann Schmitz Welcome to the Community!

Can you find out is this for Cloud or Data Center? Can you show us the checklist UI in issue view?

Maybe this will help us identify the app in use.

Cheers!

Hi @Johann Schmitz

From the UI, it looks like you are using the plugin Checklist for Jira (Pro?/Enterprise/?Free) by Herocoders for the checklists?
They have documented the necessary requirements and steps for your use case here: https://docs.herocoders.com/checklist/checklist-api.
