Hi Carsten Just updated to 6.20e. Before, on 6.18c, if I had a plain list like this: * Test - [ ] A - [ ] B - [ ] C With the cursor on the test line, typing `c-c c-x c-b' would check all the boxes, and repeating would uncheck them. Now it doesn't seem to toggle, only check. I hope this isn't a permanent change, or that there's another way to turn them all off because I use lists of check boxes 20 or 30 items long to mark off the little bits & pieces I like to get done every day. It'd be a bit tedious to have to manually set them all unchecked at the beginning of each day, even with a macro. -- Chris Randle Windows XP Pro SP3 - GNU Emacs 22.1.1 - Org-mode 6.20e
Ooops, I forgot about this part of the functionality during
a recent revamp of this command. Fixed now.
Thanks!

Have you looked at org-checklist.el in contrib? I wrote that to handle this kind
of thing.
Make sure org-checklist.el is in your load path, and add
(require 'org-checklist)
to your .emacs. You can then set up your daily task like so:
,----[ test.org ]
| * TODO test
| SCHEDULED: <2009-01-29 Thu + 1d>
| :PROPERTIES:
| :RESET_CHECKBOXES: t
| :END:
| - [ ] Task 1
| - [ ] Task 2
| - [ ] Task 3
`----
and when you mark it done all the checkboxes will be cleared.
