Hello,
I have been playing around with checkboxes and I noticed a behaviour I
did not expect based on what I read on the documentation.
Footnote 2 in the chapter 5.6 talks about the
'org-checkbox-hierarchical-statistics' variable, which I have set to
nil. But the top level header still does no show the count of checked off
items.
I have also used the :COOKIE_DATA: property set to recursive with the
same results.
What I would expect based on the documentation:
* Some header [1/2]
:PROPERTIES:
:COOKIE_DATA: recursive
:END:
** Another header [1/2]
- [X] some item 1
- [ ] some item 2
What I get:
* Some header [0/0]
:PROPERTIES:
:COOKIE_DATA: recursive
:END:
** Another header [1/2]
- [X] some item 1
- [ ] some item 2
Am I interpreting something wrong?
Regards,
Thomas

My understanding is that org-checkbox-hierarchical-statistics isn't
about counting boxes from children headings but instead about counting
children checkboxes. For example, here's a count with the default value
of t for org-checkbox-hierarchical-statistics:
* h [0/2]
- [-] a
- [ ] a.1
- [X] a.2
- [-] b
- [ ] b.1
- [X] b.2
With org-checkbox-hierarchical-statistics to nil, the count is instead
* h [2/6]
- [-] a
- [ ] a.1
- [X] a.2
- [-] b
- [ ] b.1
- [X] b.2
