I have a table with a button in each row and the last td has a ul with a different numbers of li . There is also a form with a different count of checkboxes.

What I need is a jQuery function that, when i click on this button in this tr, checks the data attribute value in the li and, if it’s equal to the value of the checkbox/s, it will make it checked.

$(function() {

  var liVal = $(".optList li").data("val"),
    chkVal = $("form-check-input").val();

  $(".editBtn").on("click", function() {
    e.preventDefault();
    if (liVal == chkVal) {
      chkVal.attr("checked", "checked");
    }
  });

});

You’ll need to identify the data-val values that are in the same table row as the clicked element. Here’s one way to accomplish it:

Find the row containing the clicked element by using jQuery’s closest().
Find the .list-group-item elements inside that row by using selector context or find().
Build an array of the data-val values by using map() to return the value of each element’s data-val attribute.
Select the checkbox elements directly by passing the array to their val().

Here’s a demonstration:

$(function() {

  // define the checkbox elements
  let $checkboxes = $(".form-check-input");

  $(".editBtn").on("click", function(e) {
    e.preventDefault();

    // find the row of the clicked element
    let $row = $(this).closest("tr");

    // build an array of the row's data values
    let liVals = $(".list-group-item", $row).map(function() {
      return $(this).data("val");
    }).toArray();

    // set the value of the checkboxes to the array of data values
    $checkboxes.val(liVals);

  });

});

jQuery( selector [, context ] )

selector
Type: Selector
A string containing a selector expression

context
Type: Element or jQuery
A DOM Element, Document, or jQuery to use as context

So what you wanna do is get to list-group-items then you want to get all the Checkboxes and then compare each list-group-item with every checkbox and if it matches you wanna set it’s property checked to true

     $(document).ready(function() {
        $(".editBtn").click(function() {
          var TableRow = $(this)
            .parent()
            .parent();
          var OptList = TableRow.find(".optList");
          var ListGroup = OptList.find(".list-group");
          // List Items
          var ListItems = ListGroup.children();
          // Inputs
          var CheckBoxes = document.getElementsByClassName("form-check-input");
          // Check Each List Item with Every Checkbox Value
          $(ListItems).each(function(index) {
            var DataVal = $(this).attr("data-val");
            $(CheckBoxes).each(function(index) {
              var checkboxvalue = $(this).val();  
              if (DataVal === checkboxvalue) {
                $(this).prop("checked", true);
              }
            });
          });
        });
      });
      // Event Listener to toggle Check Property
      $(".form-check-input").change(function() {
        if ($(this).is(":checked")) {
          $(this).prop("checked", true);
        } else {
          $(this).prop("checked", false);
        }
      });

When you click on edit button then need to find parent (tr) then use find() method to get [data-val] inside (tr) then use each() method and inside each method set data-val value + checkbox value is equal(matched) then checked(true) something like below snippet.

$(function() {
  // define the checkbox elements
  let allcheckBoxes = $(".form-check-input");
  $(".editBtn").on("click", function(e) {
    e.preventDefault();

    // Remove previous checked
    allcheckBoxes.prop('checked', false);

    // Find parent as <tr>
    let $row = $(this).parent().parent();

    $row.find('[data-val]').each(function(i,v){
      var listValues = $(this).attr('data-val');
      // If list value and checkbox value matched then checked -> true
      $('.form-check-input[value="'+listValues+'"]').prop('checked', true);
    });
  });
});
