willowen100 0 Posted February 16, 2019 Share Posted February 16, 2019 I frequently use the check boxes to help organise my 'to do' lists. It would be awesome if there was a way to clear all checked check boxes leaving the unchecked boxes alone. Link to post
1 willowen100 0 Posted April 1, 2020 Author Share Posted April 1, 2020 I use Evernote for making 'to Do' lists and quite often they can get quite big. Once I have completed a job on my 'to Do' list I usually leave it in the list because it takes longer to delete a completed job. After a while the list has lots of checked check boxes scattered around the non-checked check boxes and the list hasn't become any shorter. What would be nice is if there was a menu we could go to and purge/clear all checked check boxes within a note so that it can be tidied up. Link to post
1 andrewgscott 0 Posted April 7, 2020 Share Posted April 7, 2020 This would be useful for the likes of shopping lists where a subset of entries from a longer list has been selected. You could then filter the whole list for those checkboxes that have been checked. Conversely, filtering for unchecked checkboxes would be useful. It would be an idea to alter the updating of the filtered list to allow checked/unchecked boxes to immediately disappear, due to the active filter, or not i.e. you might want to see checked items on a shopping list rather than the active filter causing them to immediately disappear.

IMO, EN doesn't do so well with classic to do lists, particularly if they are lists that keep growing and/or contracting. Things like Wunderlist, now Microsoft To Do, and others work well for grocery lists and they are easier to share with a partner. I've found that creating dynamic to do lists by adding a reminder to a note in conjunction with saved searches works well, for me anyway. I get a note list that is equivalent to a do list and it adjusts itself as I add/close reminders. Not saying this isn't a valid request, just saying there are alternatives in the meantime pending EN making any changes to checkboxes. Sample of my saved searches included. FWIW. Link to post

Your wish is granted. In the Evernote Windows Application, you can right-click in a note, select "To-do", then "Uncheck All" to uncheck all checked todo checkboxes ina note Link to post
