I am trying to create a jira user story from powershell using the rest api.
I want to add a smart checklist to the task when its created.
ill send following json to the endpoint
{
"fields":
{
"project":
{
"key": "dep"
},
"issuetype":
{
"name": "Story"
},
"summary": "Order: 5, Tasktype: New_table",
"description": "Auto created Jira task for a data task\n ",
"assignee":
{
"key": "da",
"name": "da",
"emailAddress": "da#mycompany.com"
},
"labels": ["DATA"],
"customfield_10001": "DWH-62",
"customfield_10006": 0
"--data": /****************************here i try to add a checklist
{
"- ToDo \n+ Checked\nx Skipped\n~ In Progress\n"
},
}'
But i won't work
Error reponse is
Invoke-RestMethod : The remote server returned an error: (400) Bad Request.
At S:\XXX\XXX1\SIJ\scripts\jira-test.ps1:49 char:1

I had a similar problem. In spite of the fact that the Atlassian documentation indicates that you can create a Smart Checklist when you create an issue, I could not get it to work. What I ended up doing was creating the issue first, then making a call to add the Checklist using the checklist API, something like this:
await Client.RestClient.ExecuteRequestAsync(RestSharp.Method.PUT, $"{JiraUri}/rest/api/2/issue/{issue}/properties/com.railsware.SmartChecklist.checklist", "\"- Item 1\\n- Item 2\\n- Item 3\\n\"");
I found the documentation here: https://railsware.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/CHK/pages/92176610/Jira+REST+API.+Read+Write+checklists
and it worked for me.
