I hear online betting is really big now. I wonder what odds we could get on any of these getting implemented in say, 2 years? (I'd be happy with just AUTO-1668.)
I believe our best approach is to focus on AUTO-1612. It addresses a similar issue as AUTO-1668, but AUTO-1612 is recognized as a bug and might be prioritized over a suggestion? If they resolve this bug, it could potentially address the suggestion as well. Even if it doesn't, the clone function is perfect for everything we need via automation until AUTO-1668 is implemented. Still, if you read this and have time...please vote for both!
It's worth noting that the implementation for Action Items took 9 years, despite having many votes. That was a suggestion JRACLOUD-47605
I have used Actions a little recently. One problem I have come across is that when I go back to edit the actions as completed by clicking the checkbox, I have in multiple situations had the formatting erased. It switches to markdown and is unable to be restored.
Anybody know why this could be happening?
I should add that the whole description gets overwritten by what is stored in the description of the parent Epic.
It's a good feature, but isn't it Jira is much behind for things like this? Checklist features existed in systems like Notion long time ago.
Here, we still have limitations with pasting markdown text with checklist items, which doesn't work until you manually delete the space and add it again.
And it's not working in automation, a little bit disappointing.

another issue with this feature that took "only" 9 years to implement: the log does not show any updates when the checkboxes are marked.
An quick'n'dirty implementation would be to simply handle it like an edit text , so it would show that the text went from `[ ] something to do` to `[x] something to do`, without having to deal with some new way of logging changes to a checkbox
Hey, I wanted to know if there is an update on this:
Can Action Items be used via Automation?
The ability to use Action Items via Automation is an interesting concept. I’ll review this request with the Automation teams to explore the possibilities.
Another limitation with Action Items. An image or code block cannot be embedded in an Action Item. When I try with "/image" or "/code", the image or code block is added after the list of Action Items. That's different behavior from unordered and ordered lists.
I frequently accompany the text description of the action with an image to help visually, or with a code block containing commands to perform.
Crappy workaround is to use inline attachments. First attach the image to the work item, or create a file with the command and attach the file. It's a lot more work for the editor than just copying and pasting. And the viewer has to click and be taken out of the list.
See AUTO-1612 - there are significant issues with this feature that we have run across. Would love to know if there is a resolution planned as it has made Action Items somewhat unpredictable, leading to unusable, for us.
