This is one of those weird quirks/bugs that we have since the list field gets special treatment and is always treated as a list of values, that is an array. So "open" is the value we are setting, but ["open"] is what gets saved as the list field. Since they aren't the same, checkbox will never get rendered as checked.
Probably worth opening an issue for. Also note that using the list field with a checkbox in this way will replace the previous contents of the list, it will not add to them, so using actions with listops operators is probably the way to go.
