Agree.  We should not hold our breath.

But since a "server-side" update introduced the bug, there should be ownership on their side to "do no harm" to the established customer based.  

From a forum posting, I discovered a workaround  that works for what I want to do.   Hopefully others can discover the same workaround.  

Ran into the same problem. 

Use the checklist feature in shopping lists.  Make a checklist on the computer. When you get to the store the "checklist boxes" on the phone do not appear.

Have an older Samsung running Android 8.  So Evernote on the phone is 8.13.3 (last  available update was applied June 2020)

How to we raise the issue to Evernote that they have a newly introduced bug,

and their solution of "you have to upgrade your phone to fix it" is not customer friendly?

Workaround:  (From another forum posting)

Reformat your list of tasks and remove the "checklist" format

Place a checkbox in front of the first item in the list

Put "anychar" in front of the checkbox (otherwise Evernote will remove the checkbox, and change back to a "checklist")

     Example has "--" in front of the checkbox

Now cut/paste the chars & checkbox to the front of the rest of the items in your list.
