oChecklistItemstruct that will contain the new items.oChecklistItem[] items;Create an item and add it to the collection.
oChecklistItem newItem; newItem.name = "Unit test passed"; items += newItem;Update the custom field by passing it the newly created collection converted to JSON.
DoD = toJson(items);
Example
Here is a full example that can be used to update a checklist with a new set of items:
// We create a user routine to facilitate readability and maintainability of the script.
function createItem(string name, boolean mandatory){
oChecklistItem newItem;
newItem.name = name;
newItem.mandatory = mandatory;
return newItem;
}
// Create an empty oChecklistItem array to facilitate manipulations.
oChecklistItem[] items;
// Create each item and set the required values to each item, adding each new item to the array along the way.
items += createItem("Unit test passed", true);
items += createItem("Code reviewed", false);
// Update the checklist with its new values
DoD = toJson(items);
