# Delete a checklist item

`DELETE /api/v1/checklist_items/{id}`

## Request

- Base URL: `https://api.checkcherry.com`
- URL: `https://api.checkcherry.com/api/v1/checklist_items/{id}`
- Auth: none declared. Required headers: `Api-Key`

Soft-deletes a checklist item. The item is hidden from listings but retained in the database for record-keeping.

**Required permission:** `assigned_event_write` (when the authenticated user is assigned to the item's checklist's event) or `unassigned_event_write` (otherwise). Staff users without admin role need the per-checklist `allow_staff_edit` flag instead; customers need `allow_customer_edit`. Items on user-checklists (personal task lists) can only be deleted by their owner.

## Path parameters

- `id` integer, required

## Headers

- `Api-Key` string, required

## Response `200`

checklist item deleted
