New checklist behavior?

So now I need to select any items that I don’t want to have checkboxes and select ‘Make Checklist’ on them. Then selecting ‘Make Checklist’ on the parent item will add checkboxes to any of the items that I didn’t select.

If I want to later add or remove a checkbox from one of those items, I have to select ‘Unmake Checklist’ on the parent to remove all checkboxes, select ‘Make Checklist’ on the item, and then select ‘Make Checklist’ again on the parent. Hopefully that makes sense. It’s really confusing!

I agree that’s a valid concern. I think that is more related to the other ticket though:

Toggle checklist at any level at will

I have checklists within which I just want to have my bullet points. I would like to be able to toggle checklists at will, no matter what has been set at the parent. That is: when I hit CTRL ALT C, a checklist item should come or go.

In any case, I don’t think that adding checkboxes individually is the solution. Based on the nature of outliners, all items in a “checklist” are checkable items. You might want to “escape” a few items, but that’s the exception, not the norm.
