Bookmarklet for unchecking tasks in a Confluence document

README.md

If you want to uncheck all the checkboxes in a Confluence page with many tasks in it then try this bookmarklet.

Go to Bookmarklet Crunchinator (or similar) to generate a bookmarklet using the contents of src.js below.

See also this feature request.

Update: actually it's not working for me in a bookmarklet, but works fine from Scratchpad in Firefox.

src.js

(function(){

  var uncheckTask = function(liElem) {
    var task = jQuery(liElem);
    if (!task.hasClass('checked')) return;

    task.removeClass('checked');

    var taskId = task.data('inline-task-id');
    var pageId = task.closest('ul').attr('data-inline-tasks-content-id') || AJS.params.pageId;
    var postUrl = AJS.contextPath() + '/rest/inlinetasks/1/task/' + pageId + '/' + taskId + '/';
    jQuery.ajax({
      type: 'POST',
      url: postUrl,
      data: {
        status: 'UNCHECKED',
        trigger: 'VIEW_PAGE'
      },
      dataType: 'text',
      timeout: 30000,
      error: function() {
        task.addClass('checked');
        alert('Task update failed!');
      }
    });
  };

  var getCheckedTasks = function() {
    return jQuery('ul.inline-task-list > li.checked[data-inline-task-id]');
  };

  var doNext = function() {
    var checkedTasks = getCheckedTasks();
    if (checkedTasks.length == 0) {
      alert("All done.")
      return;
    }
    uncheckTask(checkedTasks.get(0));

    // Be nice to Confluence and hopefully it won't run out of threads and die
    setTimeout(doNext, 1000);
  };

  if (confirm('Found ' + getCheckedTasks().length + ' checked tasks. Uncheck them now?')) {
    doNext();
  };

})();

When I use http://bookmarklets.org/maker/ I can get bookmarklet which is not broken, but the script throws a "Task update failed".

Seems its not working anymore for confluence 5.10.8 :( our company recently upgraded to this version

The API requires JSON input rather than form data. That must have changed sometime between original post and now.
I got it to work by changing lines 15-18 to this:
data: JSON.stringify({ "status":"UNCHECKED", "trigger":"VIEW_PAGE" }), contentType: 'application/json',
I'll try to do a PR on this if I can, but even if so, no guarantee it will be looked at.
I know it's a little late, but hopefully helpful to you and anyone else who stumbles across this.
