When using Discourse for project development management, it is often an operational overkill to create a separate topic for each small thing that needs a fix – it is much more viable and quick to have them all discussed and collected in a single topic.
I add a checkbox every time there is a message that reruires a fix. This works well per se. But the inconvenient part is to search the whole topic for messages with unchecked checkboxes.
So the proposed feature is to allow to embed a dynamic checkbox (e.g. in the very first message of a topic, but basically anywhere you want), that would mimick all existing checkboxes in all messages in the topic.
Let’s call it a topic checkboxes.
An additional copnfiguration for topic checkboxes could be a way to filter to only show checked or unchecked checkboxes.
When an item is checked/unchecked in such a topic checkbox, the corresponding checkbox in the message is also checked/unchecked respectively.
Yes, I understood that. But when all jobs mentioned in posts are solved out and you need to close that topic why would you need some automativ checkboces to every posts? Simple solving the very first one and then autoclosin the topic would do same thing.
You would like to use some super check to showing that every tasks on that topic, aka. posts, are ready. Right?
this is not our case; the topic is “ongoing” for a few weeks as we discuss and work on a feature, and create micro-tasks on the fly; a checkbox that we can check once the task is complete is more than enough; a topic for each such a task would create a mess of million topics. So if “multiple topics” had worked for us, I would have not created this feature request.
Not sure what you mean.
Let me show an example:
Topic: Iteration on UX of feature ABC
Message 1
Feature description bla-bla-bla.
TODO: [topic_features]
p.s. message 1 would render a list of checkboxes from all posts in the topic, like this:
[ ] Update this and that bla-bla-bla
[+] Fix XYZ.
Message 2
Hi Tom, bla-bla-bla. Let’s update this in such a way that bla-bla-bla.
Update this and that bla-bla-bla
Message 3
I think it needs to be work this way and not that way here, please see the screenshot. Let’s fix it.
[+] Fix XYZ.
Message 4
Hey, fixed XYZ, take a look at the screenshot below, I like how it turned out!
이 기능이 구현되었으면 좋겠습니다. 프로젝트 관리용으로 Discourse를 사용하는 사용자가 많아지면서 이제는 이 기능이 더 필요하게 되었습니다. 우리는 주로 논의만 하다가 실행 가능한 항목이 정기적으로 생기는데, 나중에 잊거나 놓치지 않도록 체크박스를 추가해서 표시하고 있습니다. 그 후, 현재 토픽 또는 카테고리 내의 모든 체크박스를 보여주는 체크박스 요약 목록이 있다면 매우 편리할 것입니다. 선택적으로 체크되지 않은 항목만 표시하거나, 체크되지 않은 항목을 먼저 표시하고 그 다음에 체크된 항목을 표시할 수도 있으면 좋겠습니다.
