Task List - How to clear

[Larisa Dukes]

I use a generic task list that is followed by the writer in charge that month for managing a release. Each task is checked off. It is not set up to be assigned or with dates. Just the task and a link to more information. The next month, all the completed tasks need to be cleared so that the list can be used again. We are having trouble clearing the task box and it staying cleared when you return to the page.  The only way it seems to always work is to EDIT the page, clear the check boxes and publish the page again. 

A few years ago, that editing process was not needed. We could clear the check boxes and they would stay clear when we exited and returned to the page.

Hello @Larisa Dukes

It looks like there is currently a feature request for exactly this functionality.  You can vote and watch for updates on it here: https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONFCLOUD-37184. 

On that same page, there are several people with workarounds that may be good for you.  Specifically using the developer console in the browser to clear the boxes quickly.  Please let me know if you have any further questions.  Thanks!

Open developer tools in your browser and go to the console and paste this code in and hit enter:

$('input[type=checkbox]').prop( "checked", false )

Works for me as of Feb 2022.
