Numbered checklists with hidden items

Steps to reproduce

Make a short list, with numbering and checkboxes.
Check the first item.
Have checked items hidden.

Expected result

I expect the items to maintain their numbering, even when some items are hidden.

Actual result

The numbering happens as if the hidden items were deleted.

Environment

Windows, Chrome browser.

Iā€™ve only just discovered this today and I already love it, if this numbering thing gets fixed Iā€™ll be raving about it.

Hi @James_Forrest, this is actually after fixing a ā€œbugā€ that quite a few users reported to us. Apparently more people consider skipping numbers a bug.

An example: Toggle numbered list excluding/including checked items

Most of them complained about this issue via private feedback/email though.

I guess for counting purposes, you want numbering to update when checking items, so you know how many items are left. But if each number corresponds to something specific (like a chapter in a book), you want the numbering the stay. Is that your use case?

Hi @Erica, thanks for your good response.

Interesting, yeah in my case I want the numbers to cross-reference with an external numbered list of tasks. But I suppose I can see that if people are not toggling visibility of checked items then they would see it as more consistent.

I can workaround it by just using a bulleted list with the numbers in it I suppose. Iā€™ll still use the numbered lists for items that donā€™t have to cross-reference.

Thanks.
