Good evening. I’m running Everdo 1.8.5 (Pro) on windows and I am having trouble with the checklists. Perhaps I don’t correctly understand what they’re supposed to do. In a task description, I enter items on their own lines that start with "- ", so like “- item 1”, “- item 2”, and so-on. These should render as checklists when I save and come back, correct?
Should a checklist have a checkbox or some other way to mark them when they’re done?
I’ll try to upload a screenshot so you can point out my mistake
Hello @Illumin123. Thank you for replying. This is a task that I’ve written, saved, and then re-opened. The “-” characters you see have never changed. What am I doing wrong?
I’ve figured out what I’m doing wrong! I’ve got quite a lot of actions, so I set my Everdo up to “hide notes by default”, which makes the checklist task look like this in my list of tasks:
If I turn that setting off, the task renders the full checklist and other notes in the list of tasks. I didn’t realize that was the only place you could actually see the checklist as a checklist:
So, now I understand the problem. It is unfortunate for me, because I like the compact list form and typically open my tasks when I want to know more about them or see my notes. I’d like to have the checklist render when the task is open.
