You can add, change, append values of Smart Checklist content using Jira Misc Workflow Extensions (JMWE) add add-on.

Smart Checklist can be tightly integrated and expanded with JMWE tools (read add-on documentation)

Use Case: Append Smart Checklist items while transitioning Jira issue 

1. Edit project Workflow

   1. Image RemovedImage Added

2. Add Post-Function to the transition you want. E.g. "In QA"

3. Choose proper post Function type

   1. Jira  Server : "Set issue, user or project Entity Property value (JMWE add-on)"

   2. Image RemovedImage Added

4. Set Property Name to update to:  

   Code Block
   com.railsware.SmartChecklist.checklist

   Image RemovedImage Added

5. Using entity properties, to add a value to the checklist, you should use the "Groovy Expression" option of the "Set issue, user or project entity property" post-function with a script. If you want to keep/use current values of the checklist - add to the beginning of editor converted values of "com.railsware.SmartChecklist.checklist" property itself and then add and "new items" using Formatting Guide.

   Code Block
   JsonOutput.toJson(issue.getEntityProperty("com.railsware.SmartChecklist.checklist")+"\n- new item 1 \n- new item 2\n- new item 3")

   The reason why using "Groovy Expression" is a must and a "Groovy Template" won't work is because the checklist's Entity property contains newlines, which need to be encoded in JSON (as "\n").

6. Save Post Function by clicking "Add"

7. Check added post function and Publish Draft

   Then when you

   will

   try to move a Jira Issue from any

   states

   state to "In QA" (in our case) - you'll get a new piece of Smart Checklist checklist and new items added

Use Case: Clean up Smart Checklist values on Workflow Transition

If you want to clean up checklist values completely (e.g. when moving from "In Progress" state to "ToDo" - proceed with the same actions that were described in the previous use case.

Then as Groovy Expression of "Set Issue, User or Project Entity Property Post-function" from JMWE simply put the following string

""

...

Then save and publish the workflow and you are set!
