Check all nested list items if top level is checked

An obscure feature request, but it might be helpful if when you checked the top level item in a list that all the nested list items would be checked as well.

The use case is, I have a todo and put a nested list of each task that is required to complete the todo. If I complete the master todo, all other items are assumed to be completed.

If this is to be done, it is a good idea to do it on the UI level and not change the actual note in the back. the reason would be if the top-level list was checked by mistake and you want to un-check then you can preserve the children items’ status; and not just un-check all of them :wink:

I often end up checking the top level off, even with one or two nested incomplete, because I decide not to do the tasks, or don’t need to. So I think it is better to have control over it.

Perhaps we can add an option to press SHIFT when clicking to also checkoff nested items.

I like the idea of being able to use “SHIFT” to control if it checks the nested or not.
