However, fixing this might nevertheless be desirable since the combination of checkboxes and todo item is quite powerful. Imagine you are compiling a document where you need contributions from others. You could make a todo item for this with checkboxes for every chapter planned (or for every author you expect input from, or ...). As soon as contributions from authors arrive, you create todo items preferably below the same initial todo item, indicating that you have to integrate input. When compiling the document you finish those todo items on the one hand and on the other hand checkboxes will eventually get checked as chapters are finished. Although putting the chapter checkboxes into its own sub-item is possible, much of the simplicity and elegance of the original approach gets lost. What do you think?
