Only 48 days left until the 10th anniversary of this thread!

Let's get some cake ready!

Atlassian, please consider implementing this feature.  Perhaps it could be added as a template option in the 'Smart Button' Element.

Our team requires the ability to 'clear' procedural checklists following completion.

We are not authorized to use 3rd party tools or marketplace apps to bridge this functionality issue.

Looking forward to having this functionality!

Manually unchecking dozens of action items on a page is such a slow and unecessary process.

Can we get an update on this? "Plans to improve tasks in the next 12 months" was said 2.5 years ago without a word since. 

There are no other apps on the marketplace or viable workarounds for this very basic and necessary check/uncheck all functionality. 

What about adding check & uncheck tasks/"action items" as an option in rule Automation? Then we could configure it to automatically "refresh" the list (uncheck all) once a day, or when all tasks have been completed, etc.

Oh, so I may have misunderstood here.

I just searched for the problem I have, and this is where I ended up.

However, I'm not using the cloud version, but I see now that it says "cloud" in the issue-name and in the corner.

So maybe what works for cloud does noe work for the private datacenter server version that we have?

Anyways, thanks so much for your help, @Michael Stilmant.

Hello,

Sorry for your situation
Here again a copy from my working URL bookmark

javascript:(function(){ Object.values(document.querySelectorAll('input[type=checkbox]')).forEach(function(item){if(item.checked){item.click();}}); })();

I'm using the New Editor of Confluence Cloud Version Confluence 1000.0.0-4a81a2ef5734

I can't say if the issue is related to Confluence version or a local issue on your end. Sorry.

Michael

Thanks for your answer, @Michael Stilmant.

I tried to add it to my Chrome browser as you suggested, but it still does not work. It seems nothing happens whether I'm in edit mode or not. I have disabled my ad-blocker.

I did try some of the others suggestions below. At least one of them actually visually removed the checkmark, but when I refreshed the page, the change was gone (it did not save the status change).

FYI, this is what I type to add the tasks:

Mark Wilson snipped is working fine: 

• Browser Bookmarklet: Create a bookmarklet that you can click from your bookmarks bar whenever you need to uncheck all checkboxes on a Confluence page. This is essentially a saved snippet of JavaScript that you can execute on any page. Here’s how you can create one:
  • Right-click on your bookmarks bar in your browser and select “Add page” or “Add bookmark.”
  • Name it something relevant, like "Uncheck Confluence Boxes."
  • For the URL, you'll input your JavaScript wrapped in a bookmarklet format:

    javascript:(function(){ Object.values(document.querySelectorAll('input[type=checkbox]')).forEach(function(item){if(item.checked){item.click();}}); })();

  • Save the bookmarklet. Now, whenever you are on a Confluence page, you can simply click this bookmark to uncheck all checkboxes.
• Request Macro Creation: If the functionality is something that would be beneficial to your team or organization, consider reaching out to your Confluence administrator or IT department. Explain the utility of having such a macro and ask if they can create it for you.

Here’s a basic outline of how you could create a user macro to incorporate your JavaScript code:

1. Access the User Macro Setup:
   • Navigate to "Confluence Admin" under your user menu at the top right.
   • Select "User Macros" under "Configuration" in the sidebar
2. Create a new Macro:
   • Click on "Create a User Macro."
   • Provide a name and (optionally) a description for the macro.
   • Set the "Macro Body Processing" to "No macro body" if you don't need to insert content into the macro itself.
3. Add Your Javascript: 
   • In the "Template" area, you can embed your JavaScript. You’ll need to ensure it’s properly formatted to execute within an HTML context. Here's an example template that includes your script:

     ## @noparams
     <script>
      document.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', function() {
       var btn = document.createElement('button');
       btn.textContent = 'Uncheck All';
       btn.onclick = function() {
        Object.values(document.querySelectorAll('input[type=checkbox]')).forEach(function(item) {
         if (item.checked) { item.click(); }
        });
       };
       document.body.appendChild(btn);
      });
     </script>

     This script adds a button to the page when the macro is loaded, and clicking the button will run your function to uncheck all checkboxes.

1. Save and Use the Macro:
   • Save your macro.
   • To use the macro, simply insert it into any page by typing '{your-macro-name}' the macro will render wherever you place it.

By adding this macro to your Confluence pages, you provide users with an easy way to uncheck all checkboxes without requiring them to manually open the browser console or run scripts manually. This is a more user-friendly approach, especially for users who might not be comfortable with using developer tools.

I use the bookmarklet, the Macros creation is just theoretical, please adjust it if needed. 

It seems this does not work anymore.

Any updates needed for this to work in Confluence 8.5.8 ?
