comment check boxes

When adding check boxes in comments like this

• a check box
• another checkbox

They cannot be marked as done by clicking on them. This would be handy and is already a feature in gitlab and github

EoF OP

Being able to interact with certain check boxes without having to edit the markdown, i.e. to mark it as complete improves the workflow.

Details

Add the ability to have markdown rendered with functional check boxes. then if the user changes the check boxes value, perform a HTTP/PATCH with the updated markdown. On returning HTTP/200, update the user interface.

Links

• Module Home: https://www.npmjs.com/package/markdown-it-task-lists

Tasks

• Add functional checkbox support to rendered markdown.

Requirements

• Ticket description renders interactive check boxes
• On editing a ticket description check box, Create an action comment denoting <Marked/Unmarked> <task list description> as <Completed / Not-Completed>
• Backend informs as part of field rendering if the check boxes are interactive

Start by locating the markdown rendering and field-rendering entry points, then trace the HTTP/PATCH update path and action-comment handling. The linked markdown-it-task-lists module describes the checkbox format to support. Done means rendered ticket checkboxes can be toggled, persist through HTTP/200, and produce the specified action comment while backend rendering identifies interactive fields.
