Agree. The workaround does work, but it is disappointing that it is clumsier than what was present in the past. Workarounds in computer programs are generally accepted when they let us do something a program isn't designed to do. They shouldn't be needed because a function was removed.

Yes, that works. Thank you. Your previous description from December sounded like it was more complicated than my work-around (using the legacy version), but now that you have it down to highlighting the check boxes I want to revert and then using the command twice it becomes a worthwhile solution.

It isn't doing what I need. It will remove the entire check box. I need the check boxes unchecked but preserved for the next month.

I don't know if it will influence them, but I did receive a survey from them which was sent to people using the legacy version asking why. Hopefully others also responded that they are using it for the same reason.

Except it does look like it has been removed based upon the limited information from Evernote, not that it is something which will available in the future. Using the Legacy version is a satisfactory workaround, which is why I raised it again for the benefit of others who miss the feature, but it would be far better if they added the feature back to the current versions.

I just came back to this forum for the first time in months to see if any chance there is anything more on this. As of now the best solution remains to pull up the legacy version once a month to reset my monthly checklists. Then either version can be used. It remains a shame that they got rid of such a useful function. Most likely it is because of the addition of tasks, but that doesn't look very helpful for my purposes.

It isn't there. I probably did pull up the old version without realizing it as the next time I tried it wasn't there.

The last time I used the notebook with check boxes last week, I believe the command to uncheck all was back (unless I accidentally pulled up the old version). I'm not at the computer where I use it right now but I believe the command was back on the desktop version, but not the web or Android version--but I don't think the command was in all version in the past either. If not there, I think the best work around was to use the older version, which they did post for download.

The fact that I also make modifications is also why I don't go with the solution of copying from a template. It could work, but would require updating the template too.

That would work too. For now I'll probably repeat what I did in December--using the old version to access the uncheck command. Should we get to a point where the old version stops working, this would be another possible work around.

It is a shame that an "upgrade" has taken away functions. While check box lists are not a major use for Evernote, keeping this function makes Evernote far more functional for todo lists, as opposed to using a separate program. My work around has been to download the old desktop version, which I used to uncheck monthly lists at the end of December so they are now ready for use regardless of which version I use during the month.

Is it still possible to uncheck all of the check boxes in a note with a single command? There was an obvious command for this in the previous version, which I used frequently. Now I cannot find this function in the current version.
