ScriptRunner for Jira
You might find Smart Checklist integration with ScripRunner useful for updating checklists using automated scripts.
Basic Case
You can add checklists to your Jira Issues by pushing value to the custom field "Checklists" using the following script:
ScriptRunner
import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor
import com.atlassian.jira.event.type.EventDispatchOption;
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.ModifiedValue
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.util.DefaultIssueChangeHolder
def customFieldManager = ComponentAccessor.customFieldManager
def issueManager = ComponentAccessor.issueManager
def issueService = ComponentAccessor.issueService
def loggedInUser = ComponentAccessor.jiraAuthenticationContext.loggedInUser
def issue = issueManager.getIssueObject("PROJ-7")
def changeHolder = new DefaultIssueChangeHolder()
def inputParameters = issueService.newIssueInputParameters()
def myval = "- ToDo List\n+ Checked\nx Skipped\n~ In Progress\n# Another ToDo List\n- Unchecked\n> Quote line 1 https://rw.rw\\n> Quote line 2\n> Quote line 3\n"
// a text field
def textCf = customFieldManager.getCustomFieldObjectByName("Checklists")
inputParameters.addCustomFieldValue(textCf.getId(), myval);
def updateValidationResult = issueService.validateUpdate(loggedInUser, issue.getId(), inputParameters);
if (updateValidationResult.isValid()) {
def result = issueService.update(loggedInUser, updateValidationResult, EventDispatchOption.ISSUE_UPDATED, false);
if (!result.isValid()) {
return result.getErrorCollection().getErrors().toString();
}
} else {
return updateValidationResult.getErrorCollection().getErrorMessages();
}Result
Update/append checklists with post function during a workflow status change
This could be achieved by updating Issue Property with the key com.railsware.SmartChecklist.checklist using REST API Endpoints https://scriptrunner.adaptavist.com/5.6.8/jira/rest-endpoints.html
This use case can also be met with the native Smart Checklist feature. See the details here: Modify checklists on a Workflow Transition
Set checklist depending on Custom Field Value after Issue Creation
If you want the specific Checklist appended to your newly created ticket depending on the other Custom field value - you can easily do it by adding Script Runner Post Function to your Create Ticket workflow transition.
Assume that you have a custom field named "Environment" with 2 values: Production/Staging. So you expect that while adding a new issue - you'll have a proper checklist assigned
Result
Implementation flow:
Go To Workflow Editor
Choose "Script Post Function" Script Runner
Choose "Custom Script Post Function"
Add inline Script
Variables checklistProd and checklistStage are used for keeping the proper value of the checklist (in text format)
ScriptRunner

IMPORTANT! Make the Post Function is placed as a #1 Step!
Customize checklist visibility by user group/ user role/ ticket type
ScriptRunner can be used for hiding separate UI elements on your Jira tickets depending on different conditions. This way, you can hide Smart Checklist visibility on your Jira instance for specific user groups/ roles/ ticket types.
