categories: checkboxes only available for leaf elements? #1343

Open bakhshir opened 5 days ago

Currently there are no checkboxes for the parent elements, if a node/category has a child element; only leaves have checkboxes. For example, Screenshot from 2024-11-07 10-42-48 in this case, I might know that a project used SURF infra but not aware which service was used. I still would like to check the box "SURF...".

This leads to another UX issue: for the trees that have branches with unequal depth, the missing checkboxes put different spacing, and even different font styles.

Another suggestion for UX improvements is to introduce +- to expand and contract some (sub)categories to make it easy to ready. Relevant to the issue #1341
