When you make an item a checklist, all of it’s descendants, and also their descendants become checklist, but there is no way for the grandchildren sub-bullets not to have check boxes.
I want to make an instructional checklist, with notes or options under certain steps that do not have a check box next to them (but their parent items do) , yet this is impossible, my proposed solution is to keep the functionality with auto converting all descendants into checklists the same for familiarity, but add the unmake checklist / make checklist option in the menu for people who want to do something similar to me.
Example:
Making a sandwich
[] Toast Bread
[] Spread Jam
Strawberry
Blueberry
Apricot
[] Spread Peanut Butter
Can use almond butter if no peanut
Currently all of the square bullet items above would have to be check-marks even though that doesn’t make sense.
those looks like notes that youd put in the notes rather than making them children
children in a checklist would be pieces of the parent split up as chunks, so once theyre all checked off you can check off the parent
i guess dynalist can be made more flexible like youre saying, but it would require over-riding an inherited trait, which tends to lead to bugs where the user forget an item has an override and thinks its not behaving right, im not a fan of apps adding complexity like that personally, kind of nice to be restrained to predictable rules
I believe that tasks should live near their context and support informations.
Limiting this support informations to a flat text comment is a pity, especially when you have all the great necessary features in the tool !
