If you need 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)

Issue Checklist Documentation (Legacy) > Create YAML for a checklist (deprecated) > copy-checklist-as-yaml.png

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
