Hi!
I have a headline with several sub headlines and sub items in lists.
Scattered all over I have checkboxes.
I would very much like to collect and see the overall status of unchecked checkboxes.
Example:
* project
** subproject 1
- [ ] todo 1
- [X] todo 2
- [ ] todo 3
*** sub subproject 1
- [ ] todo 1
- [ ] todo 2
- [X] todo 3
...
I would like to see
* project [2/6] ...
Is there a way to achieve this?
I already know about org-hierarchical-todo-statistics and org-hierarchical-checkbox-statistics.
Thanks,
Rainer

Not sure you can do what you want. However, if you change the checkbox
lists to headlines with TODOs, what you want is possible:
#+begin_src org
,* project [2/6]
,** [1/3] subproject 1
,*** TODO todo 1
,*** DONE todo 2
,*** TODO todo 3
,** [1/3] sub subproject 1
,*** TODO todo 1
,*** TODO todo 2
,*** DONE todo 3
#+end_src

Thank you Eric,
until now TODOs for me always seemed to be a bit heavyweight because of the headline needed.
I wonder how people are working.
Do you use checkboxes a lot or prefer TODOs even for simple subtasks?
I find it disturbing to have to open a new headline just for a simple task.
This forces me to continue with TODOs (= headlines) else all subitems will belong to the preceding headline.
Any best practice or comment?
Thanks,
Rainer

Yes, I use headlines for all tasks, no matter how small. However, I do
group them under more general headlines in some cases.
But there are many different uses out there, I'm sure!
