Creating issue reports are text based, this only pretties up text once it's been phased. It will not let people tick a checkbox, they'll still be editing markdown. If they miss removing the space it looks messed up as well (in original issue md).

Your pr request( #6 ) is messy as well, you missed two boxes, and added 3 where they don't belong.

[TobiTenno]

The 2 I didn't add were because they are one or the other, which becomes deceptive in a task list if viewing the issue from the overview. The versions were added so that they could be visually checked as well (adding value from the issue list). Those were a bonus.

[Ryonez]

Not sure how the 2 missed would be considered deceptive, it's still one or the other. The version stuff could be considered deceptive though, because we aren't after a tick, we are after actual versions, which have to be typed in.

[TobiTenno]

The 2 "missed" were not missed, they were left out because it's one or the other.

On a task list, it would still show 1 missing. In the case of any that were actually completed, with those included, the issue would show as 8/9 on the task list.

[Ryonez]

Okay, the one's you left out are still one or the other, one is meant to be checked/ticked.

As to tasklist, what tasklist?

There's a checklist of 4 items, to make sure you've gone through them, and looked for what you needed yourself.

Then there's a multi choice selection, of which you select one

Then there's a description section, where you describe either your issue or feature request

Then there's a section for you to fill in version information. This is most likely only needed for issues. Say that I'm doing a feature request. I could leave this incomplete safely, and then this tasklist is 5/9 complete.

There's no need to make it a massive tasklist, just full in the required information.

Please don't misunderstand, I don't think you're idea is horrible, nor an I trying to attack it. It just doesn't seem feasible here to me.

Here is the example from another repo.

It's an outside view for stakeholders to get a quick view to see if things are progressing or done yet or not. Those all that have 1 of 2 are formatted like the ones I left out, which are make it confusing as to what they mean.

Here's an example of where we used them as I'm intending them to be used here:

In this example, they actually show a progression. The one with 90 things to do is a massive project, and when something gets done, it gets checked off of there.

I admit, that looks very pretty, didn't know this was a thing. Hmm, maybe only the first 4 should be down then? Those are required. The feature and issue choice makes sense to leave now, though I still believe that versions aren't required. Those wouldn't need to be filled if it's a feature request after all.

[TobiTenno]

I'm mostly referring to a situation where it's an issue, and in this case now, informing you about what you can add to make management of tasks a bit easier this way. If you want them off of the versions, I'll remove them.

[Ryonez]

Mhm, thank you. Right now, I don't provide support for the repo, Dot manages that. For now I was pointing out my thoughts on it.

I'm sure he'll let you know what he thinks once he's back on. Thank you for your time, and for teaching me something!
