Checklist of items, need to uncheck them as tasks are completed?

I have a "Choice" column that uses a checkbox to add multiple items to a field in a list.  For instance, if an item needs attention by Joe and the Billing department, but not Mary, my workflow will send Joe and Billing a task, and check those boxes using a Build string that will concatenate all the items who need checked into a variable, and then update item with that variable into that field.

I'd like another step that will UNcheck these names once their task has been responded to, but I'm not sure how to go about it.  

Can someone point me in the right direction?

do you need to remove options one by one or clear choice field value completelly?

Definitely one by one as they complete their tasks.

then I would suggest to use regular expression action to remove one who just approved.

something like this might work for you (just replace input text field with item field or workflow property which holds your current choice options
