How to create checkboxes in the content of a task using the API?

Hello guys,
Today we create tasks via the API with default text inside.
We've recently been asked to add checkboxes to the default text (as shown in the image above).

Our problem:
we can't find the way to do this via this page: https://developers.wrike.com/special-syntax/

Is there any way of doing this?
Thank you!

If you tried to create a checkbox in Wrike description, and read it, you will see its HTML like this:

It corresponds to the UI like this:

You may follow the same and update the task's description with HTML tagged checkboxes.

If you want to update the description and add checkboxes at the top, then you need to first read the task's description, and concatenate the description by prepending checkbox HTML and update back the task.

Hope it helps.
