"Checklist Content YAML" custom fields accepts and stores data in YAML format. It contains "items" array and each entry contains obligatory "text" property (checklist item text) and optional "checked" property (boolean value for state of the checkbox). It might contain also "description" property for multiline description and "status" property if statuses are enabled.
Here is a valid example:
items:
- text: '--- Header (title)'
checked: false
- text: 'Item #1'
checked: true
- text: 'Item #2'
checked: false
- text: 'Item #3'
checked: false
And another example with enabled statuses:
items:
- text: '---UI tested on'
checked: false
status: open
- text: 'Chrome :santa'
checked: false
status: in progress
- text: Firefox
checked: true
status: done
- text: Edge
checked: true
status: skipped
- text: Safari
checked: true
status: skipped
Checklist Content YAML field is deprecated and it will be removed in the future. Please use the Checklist Text field instead.
If you need a checklist in YAML format for automation purposes, then use "Copy checklist as YAML" option from the checklist "..." menu.
- Go to any issue page
- Add checklist items through the Checklist panel as you usually do
Use "Copy Checklist as YAML" button from the "..." menu (the YAML representing actual checklist is copied to the clipboard)
Here is the example YAML copied to clipboard (use Ctrl+P to paste it):items: - text: '--- Optional checklist header/title' checked: false - text: item 1 checked: false - text: item 2 with **description** checked: false description: example description
