Decide what you want to pack there, make some other notes and check the item as done once you actually visit this beautiful country.
After some time decide that you want to go there one more time, make another item with the same name (“Trip to France”), possibly in a different place of your doc structure
Go somewhere else in the doc, create or point to another element (like “pack a toothbrush”) and use move shortcut (Command+Shift+M on Mac), search for “Trip to France” where you want to place the pointed element.
Expected result
The previously checked “Trip to France” should not be visible on the list or should be clearly marked as checked (depending on your settings).
Actual result
Both “Trip to France” checked and not checked are shown in exactly the same way, if you choose the wrong one your “pack a toothbrush” element may go to the checked element that you probably never read again. Particularly if checked items are not visible your note is basically lost.
Environment
Browser, Chrome on Mac but it probably doesn’t matter
Do you mind if I rewrite the title as “Checked and non-checked items look the same in Move dialog” or at least “Move to a checked item may lead to invisible data”?
“Data loss” usually refers to losing access to data forever. Scared me when I saw the title.
my point was to illustrate that the data is lost from the user point of view (he will never know that he made a particular note). Technically it’s still there, but it’s not visible anymore.
But up to you, I won’t mind if you really want to change the title.
Any chance this will be fixed in the foreseeable future?
Moving to an arbitrary place in a doc via a keyboard shortcut is a Dynalist killer feature, it’s a shame that it’s broken if used with checked items. What’s even worse is that it works, but may lead to losing some notes (or making them unintentionally invisible).
