While using Confluence, I wanted to learn how to add a simple task checkbox in free-flow text and lists without creating a “real” task. The answer is very easy – just type the square bracket pair [] and the checkbox will appear!
To check the checkbox simply set the value of the “checked” attribute: jQuery(‘.ChkBox’).attr(‘checked’,true); To uncheck it, just remove the attribute entirely: jQuery(‘.ChkBox’).removeAttr(‘checked’);
