When would you invalidate an item rather than marking it complete?

When would you invalidate an item rather than marking it complete? Would it be use to hide an item that is to be reactivated later?

    Hello Peter! I usually invalidate a task when it's not going to be implemented as a part of the initial plan, but I am not sure where it goes, whether it's appropriate or not, etc. After that it's either deleted or re-opened and then completed, sometimes as a part of another outline.

    Invalidated items can be hidden with the same 'hide completed' shortcut, 'hc'. We have a request not to hide invalidated tasks, though http://checkvist.uservoice.com/forums/2121-general/suggestions/3097229-show-invalidated-tasks-when-hide-completed-tasks-s

    Thanks Sasha. I agree it would be more useful if you could have invalidated items visible when completed items are hidden. Even better if they could be toggled independently to complete tasks. Now that would be first prize.

    Aha, I see. Could you please add your comment to that request then? http://checkvist.uservoice.com/forums/2121-general/suggestions/3097229-show-invalidated-tasks-when-hide-completed-tasks-s Can't promise to implement it straight away, but we'll definitely consider the new setting in the upcoming releases.

Any Toggl users here?

Any Toggl users here? I'm putting together an integration so the toggl (Chrome extension) button ( https://github.com/toggl/toggl-button ) is displayed for tasks on a Checkvist list. It's dead simple (a few lines of javascript), but I'm slightly torn on the best way to handle one aspect: whether or not toggl is shown for a particular list. It can't be always-on, as it adds too much clutter for non-projecty lists (who wants a timer button for the carrots on their grocery list?). What I have now is that if any task on a list is tagged #toggl, then all tasks on that list will have the toggl button. A few alternatives I canvassed were: - display toggl buttons only on subtasks of a task tagged with #toggl - display toggl buttons only on focused (hoisted) tasks - find some other way to indicate that all of a list's tasks should have the button, eg. something encoded in the list's name I think what I have now is the most convenient of these (I don't want to hav...
