According to the footnote [3] on http://orgmode.org/manual/Checkboxes.html, if I press C-u C-c C-c on the first item of a list, all items on that list will get checkboxes. However only the first one does.

Can you provide some information about your org version

Oops!  I hit C-u C-c C-c in the wrong buffer!

I meant to say,

Can you provide some information about your org version?

I just tried C-u C-c C-c on the following list and it worked as documented.

+ foo
+ bar
+ baz

I am using the current maint branch.

Best,
Josiah

Actually I did it like this:

+ |foo
+ bar
+ baz

If I do this instead, it works as you've said:

|+ foo
+ bar
+ baz

I've switch to the maint branch as well, for the purposes of the experiment.

Ah, yes.  I see now.  I do not know if that's what is intended.  Someone
who knows more about org internals will have to chime in.

Yes, it is intended. The very first character in a list targets the
whole list. This allows, for example, to move the whole list instead of
an item. See `org-element-at-point' docstring for more information.
