You may want to remove some items from a checklist, but not all of them. This can be useful to filter out unnecessary items in a checklist.

Steps

1. Get the custom field, custom field type and items of your Checklist field.
   

   Code Block
   language groovy
   def customFieldManager = ComponentAccessor.getCustomFieldManager(); // Remplace the custom field ID with whatever ID your custom field has def checklistField = customFieldManager.getCustomFieldObject("customfield_10101"); def checklistCFType = (ChecklistCFType) checklistField.getCustomFieldType(); Collection<ChecklistItem> items = (Collection<ChecklistItem>) checklistCFType.getValueFromIssue(checklistField, issue);

2. Loop through your items and remove the items you wanted removed.
   

   Code Block
   language groovy
   // The "toList()" here is important. If not specified, the script will fail with a ConcurrentModificationException for (ChecklistItem item : items.toList()) { if (item.getName() != "Only Accepted Item Name") { items.remove(item); } }

3. Update the issue with the updated item list.
   

   Code Block
   language groovy
   checklistCFType.updateValue(checklistField, issue, items);

Full example

Here is a full example where items are removed from a Checklist field.

import com.onresolve.scriptrunner.runner.customisers.WithPlugin;
@WithPlugin("com.okapya.jira.checklist")
import com.okapya.jira.customfields.*;
import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor

// In this example the issue object comes from an event like in ScriptRunner's Custom Listeners
def issue = event.issue;

def customFieldManager = ComponentAccessor.getCustomFieldManager();
// Remplace the custom field ID with whatever ID your custom field has
def checklistField = customFieldManager.getCustomFieldObject("customfield_10101");
def checklistCFType = (ChecklistCFType) checklistField.getCustomFieldType();

Collection<ChecklistItem> items = (Collection<ChecklistItem>) checklistCFType.getValueFromIssue(checklistField, issue);

// The "toList()" here is important. If not specified, the script will fail with a ConcurrentModificationException
for (ChecklistItem item : items.toList()) {
    if (item.getName() != "Only Accepted Item Name") {
        items.remove(item);
    }
}

// Update the value in the issue with the updated collection
checklistCFType.updateValue(checklistField, issue, items);
