Hi, I'd like to click in live-preview of Obsidian on a checkbox and get these states:
Is there a way to toggle between these 3 states? I use magicuser theme and Obsidian 1.7.7 in Windows 10. |

Hi, yes it's possible. You will need to "teach" tasks about your custom checkboxes. You can see examples of what is possible: https://publish.obsidian.md/tasks/Getting+Started/Statuses/Example+Statuses ... and from there you will need to follow the links to set up your custom statuses in the Tasks settings If your theme already styles custom statuses, you can ignore the instructions about setting up CSS snippets of selecting a theme. |

Great. So the symbol you asked about is explained in that link on the second row of the table. 😄 |

Thank you very much, but I'm not a native english speaker. I simply don't understand this. Can you explain, please? |

Sure. It means to click on the link and navigate to this page: I don't think I can say it any differently than when I wrote that documentation in the first place - and I am very limited for free time. Perhaps Google Translate can help:

You only need to understand that link if you use recurring/repeating tasks... |

Hi @merlinuwe, Apologies that I did not have more time to help earlier. If you closed it because you are OK, that's great. But if you still would like help, please do re-open and let's talk more.... |
