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.
