But if I put them in a file, then do C-x i to import that file under the todo item and add [/] to the todo item, that checkbox counter is not updated. I think this means the todo item does not see the imported checkboxes as its children. How do I convince it that they are? Is it a matter of whitespace before the -? Is there some toggle I can use to associate them to the TODO? However.. if I position cursor on the TODO and hit TAB then the checkboxes vanish meaning that they are seen as children? If I position the cursor at the end of the TODO line then delete until the first line of the imported file moves to that line, then hit RET, well suddenly all is well... Has to be a more sensible way? Zebee
