I really like this suggestion and was going to add it myself. Others have also done so in #5214 and #5197. I also like the syntax that you propose. |

Our organization uses the checkboxes in this manner too. |

OT, but I really, really want to thank you for mentioning it! Didn't know about it, this will help me a lot! For those who want to try as well check the docs |

Same idea here. We use checkboxes for other purposes (like gathering metadata about the issue or pull request.) |

Second this. it allows us to specify what components of our system an issue should affect, it is not tasks, so it's misleading. This seems to be a popular feature request, so i hope github eventually implements it. |

FWIW I've also seen markdown extensions for radio buttons (the ones I've seen used parens), which would also be useful as commonly the tasks / pseudo-forms give multiple choices only one of which makes sense. Sometimes a template picker step is sufficient, but not always. |

Anyone from GitHub willing to do anything about this? I have the same problem as all the others above. |

Hey folks! So good news, the next generation of Task lists should resolve this friction. I am the PM working on it, we don't have a set time for a release yet. It's part of a larger effort. Rest assured, we hear you! |

My understanding is the new tasklists feature is on hold. Is that correct? |

Would be really great to have a task list button that can toggle between 3 states.
Currently to make it crossed out requires some tedious manual editing of the pull request template.. |

This would be great, and could even just use the common checkbox "indeterminate" state (like There are lots of common GitHub scenarios where a task in a list is no longer to-do, but is not "done" in the current issue or PR either: e.g. was split into its own issue, done in a different PR, proved to be impossible or longer an issue, confirmed wontfix, etc etc. |

@omerbensaadon Thank you for the prompt update. Can you clarify if existing PRs & issues that have the old format of checkboxes will continue to list them as tasks? |

Once we GA tasklists (down the road) checkboxes will no longer result in completion counts |

I assume that the tasklist feature was disabled while you guys worked on this? But its nearly been nearly two years without an update... Discussions like these or these also remain unanswered. I miss the progress bar tasklists, please bring back/fix? |

Uh oh!

I really like the task lists to make interactive checkboxes. But often I also just want to have interactive checkboxes in my issue/PR templates and they do not represent actual tasks.
I somehow "misuse" them currently as interactive template for people contributing so that they can fill out some details like here:
Not all checkmarks are really mandatory and they are not all tasks. This leads to a display like:
I have seen some very early access feature of "issue form templates" which really allow you to make forms with UI components to enforce a certain use input structure. This feature might also solve this at some point if they become available for PRs too. But until then it would be great if we can somehow indicate which checkmarks are actually tasks and which ones are just checkboxes. Maybe using a different syntax like:
Parenthesis would be too close to the looks of radio buttons, but braces could work to have a checkbox which is not a task.
