Description

Does this feature exist in Emacs orgmode core?

No

Feature value

I have a daily recurring TODO item called morning routine which has many check boxes.

It has :RESET_CHECK_BOXES: t in :PROPERTIES:. :RESET_CHECK_BOXES: from org-contrib resets every check box after I set the state of the recurring task to DONE.

Since morning routine is essential to my life, without :RESET_CHECK_BOXES:, I can't switch to nvim-orgmode.

I hate programming in emacs lisp, but emacs org-mode does the job for now. org-mode is the only thing I need emacs for.

Research direction

No source file, entry point, or test is named. Start by locating existing TODO state-transition and checkbox handling in the Lua plugin, then compare the requested :RESET_CHECK_BOXES: behavior with the org-contrib description. Done means a recurring TODO with this property resets its checkboxes when changed to DONE.
