You can add, change, append values of Smart Checklist content using Jira Misc Workflow Extensions (JMWE) add-on⚡️
Jira Misc Workflow Extensions (JMWE) is powerful, all-in-one Jira automation app to customize and expand your workflows. Smart Checklist can be tightly integrated and expanded with JMWE tools Read more here → https://innovalog.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/JMWEC/overview
Requires Checklists Custom Field → "Checklists" Custom Field set up
☝🏼 NOTE: Not available in Next-Gen projects. Workflow customization isn't available yet for Next-Gen projects. As of now, it is on the longer-term roadmap of the Atlassian team. Therefore, transition validators are not available either.
☝🏼 IMPORTANT NOTE: Due to the upcoming transition to the Forge app, the JMWE use case relying on issue properties will need to be updated to use custom fields instead. Please review your workflow configuration and adjust it accordingly to ensure continued functionality.
