org-mode export toggle checkboxes

Hello Emacs and Org-Mode Users,

I have a question regarding the export options of org-mode.

Is there a way to toggle, whether checkboxes are exported to markdown
and plain text (ASCII buffer / file)? I did not find any on
https://orgmode.org/manual/Export-Settings.html and so far I tried the
following:

~~~~
#+OPTIONS: ^:{} H:10 toc:2
#+STARTUP: content indent align inlineimages hideblocks entitiesplain nologdone nologreschedule nologredeadline nologrefile
#+OPTIONS: ^:{}
#+OPTIONS: tags:nil
#+OPTIONS: tasks:nil
#+OPTIONS: toc:nil
#+OPTIONS: H:6
#+OPTIONS: p:nil
#+OPTIONS: pri:nil
#+OPTIONS: prop:nil
#+OPTIONS: todo:nil
#+OPTIONS: stat:nil
#+OPTIONS: |:t
#+OPTIONS: inline:nil
~~~~

Regards,
Zelphir

I'm not aware of an option to control this.  You could accomplish it
with a filter though:

    (defun my/ox-md-ascii-filter-checkboxes (ast backend info)
      (if (org-export-derived-backend-p backend 'md 'ascii)
          (org-element-map ast 'item
            (lambda (i)
              (org-element-put-property i :checkbox nil))
            info)
        ast))
    
    (add-to-list 'org-export-filter-parse-tree-functions
                 #'my/ox-md-ascii-filter-checkboxes)


more details: (info "(org)Advanced Export Configuration")
