Flow designer - adding checklist template

[Sri29]

Is there a way to add checklist template as part of flow designer action. I come across a similar post (https://www.servicenow.com/community/itsm-forum/flow-designer-adding-a-checklist-to-a-form/m-p/53308... but it seems this post is discussing on creating a checklist items on the fly. I have a checklist template, but seems like I don't see a way to ad it into the flow. Please advise.?

@Sri29 Checklist template table contains the checklist items in a JSON format, a custom action would be needed to convert the JSON into an array of checklist items and then they can be used to create a cheklist and checklist items in the respective tables.

Try building the above solution from your side, if it doesn't work, let me know and I will build a sample for you.

Thanks @Sandeep Rajput  I am trying to build one. Please do send if you have a sample available.

Hey @Sandeep Rajput, 
I also have a requirement to pull in checklist templates that have already been created rather than creating them within the flow. 

I have been struggling trying to create a script for this within flow designer. Are you able to build a sample for me to go off ? It would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks,

@Derek17 Could you please create a separate thread and post the script which you have tried so far. I will suggest a solution accordingly.

@Sandeep Rajput I actually ended up creating a business rule that populates catalog tasks with the correct checklist rather than having an activity in the flow do this. This seems to be working and saves space on the flow so I think it is ideal for my situation where we have a lot of different actions within certain flows.
