Checklist 'options' won't update on callback

I’ve searched around the forums and it appears like my callback setup is correct but I can’t update the options of a checklist.

I’ve confirmed that if I manual use parse_names(df) upon app execution that the checklist options appear. So I’m pretty confident in the return value to variableList (checklist2). Just to be sure I printed out the return value. Here’s part of it:
parsed = [{‘label’: ‘Device restarted’, ‘value’: 1}, {‘label’: ‘Device returned’, ‘value’: 2}, {‘label’: ‘Restraint Switch SW1’, ‘value’: 3}, {‘label’: ‘Restraint Switch SW2’, ‘value’: 4}, {‘label’: ‘Approach Vu Input’, ‘value’: 5},…}]

My checklist:
checklist2 = dcc.Checklist(
                id = 'variableList',
                style = {'overflow': 'auto','height': 400})


My app.layout
app.layout = html.Div([
    html.Img(src='data:image/png;base64,{}'.format(encoded_image2.decode()), width = 200),
    html.Div([
        html.Div([
            html.H3('Import Options', style={'text-align': 'center'}),
            html.Div([
            btn1,
            html.H3('Docks'),
            checklist1,
            html.H3('Variables'),
            checklist2],
            style = {'overflow':'auto','height': '80vh'})], 
            className="one-third column" ),
        html.Div([
            html.H3('Visualization', style={'text-align': 'center'}),
            ph1,
            dcc.RangeSlider(
                id='non-linear-range-slider',
                marks={i: '{}'.format(10 ** i) for i in range(4)},
                max=3,
                value=[0.1, 2],
                dots=False,
                step=0.01,
                updatemode='drag'),
            html.Div(id='output-container-range-slider-non-linear', style={'margin-top': 20}),
            btn2,
            html.Img(src='data:image/png;base64,{}'.format(encoded_image1.decode()), width = 200)], 
            className="eight columns")], 
        className="two rows")])


My button1 callback:
@app.callback(Output('variableList','options'), [Input('btn-1', 'n_clicks')])
def button1(value):
    if value == 0:
        return 
    else:
        ssh_client = paramiko.SSHClient() #create SSH client
        ssh_client.set_missing_host_key_policy(paramiko.AutoAddPolicy())
        ssh_client.connect('xxxxxxxx', username='xxxxxxx', password='xxxxx') #connect to server
        lstBuff = dbf.sendCommand(command, ssh_client)
        df = dbf.processMessage(lstBuff)
        ssh_client.close() #close the ssh portal
        parsed = parse_names(df)
        return parsed
