recursive checkbox counting

Hello,

I'm trying to recursively count checkboxes, with intermediate counting:

* [0/0] 2020
:PROPERTIES:
:COOKIE_DATA: checkbox recursive
:END:
** [1/1] Week 39
- [X] [[file:2020-09-29.org][§:2020-09-29 (Tuesday)]]
** [2/2] Week 36
- [X] [[file:2020-09-08.org][§:2020-09-08 (Tuesday)]]
- [X] [[file:2020-09-07.org][§:2020-09-07 (Monday)]]

Unfortunately I don't know what property I need to set on the top-level
node to recursively count everything. I would like to see [3/3] there.
Is there a way to do it?

Thanks,

Alan

I think you can only do this for lists of lists.  In your case, you
would have the 2020 headline but all subheadings would be list elements
with the cookie.  You would keep the recursive property in the top
headline.

But, for the record, I would like to be able to do what you want as
well.  It just doesn't seem possible currently.

Thank you for the suggestion, it works indeed.

I agree.

Best,

The way I've made this work is with the following property:

   :COOKIE_DATA: ALL

But I suppose I haven't tried if that's fully recursive.

Thank you for the suggestion. I gave it a try, and unfortunately it does
not work.

Not sure whether this will work (or whether it will help in your case):

   https://emacs.stackexchange.com/questions/60710/is-there-any-way-of-getting-overview-statistics-for-all-checkboxes-in-a-given-or/60747#60747

There are some links to other questions on Emacs SE that might (or
might not) be helpful.

Thank you for the suggestion. I think I might stay with nested lists at
the moment, as it works for me.

Best,

Alan
