Searching unmarked checkboxes in document

[anon35423428]

Hey, is there a way to find all unmarked checkboxes within a document or do you have plans to add this as feature? This without the need to add entries to a table (like a todo list) and filter the table?
This would be very handy for find all open todo’s (=unmarked checkboxes) which has been entered inline in meeting notes or during analysis/note taking, …

There is not.

If you have your checkbox lists in a table though, there are some hacks to extract checked vs unchecked rows:

Pro hack: Convert checklist to separate rows

I was playing around with the idea of being able to enter meeting notes in a Big Cell mode, and then quickly convert those into separate rows in a Tasks table. Here’s what I managed to do: [ezgif.com-optimize (72)] This is a hacky solution that relies on deep object modification (props to @Filmos). I added the logic to include sub-lists etc when copying each task. reducing nesting level by one. I haven’t implemented the way to preserve character-level formatting (bold, color etc) because that…

But for checklists right in section text, there’s no way to get them in a formula and hence do any analysis on them.
