Is there anyway to make a task "uncompleteable"?

Is there anyway to make a task "uncompleteable"?

For instance, I have a list where I keep my list of projects and their issues. I created a simple sample here: https://checkvist.com/checklists/581404/accept?secret=Qw4wCRLBv1d1sC

You see in each project I have three catagories: Software, Electrical, and Hardware. I never want these catagories to be completed, because I could always find a new issue to add to them later.

You can see that in Project 1, Electrical has all its items completed so Electrical itself has become completed. This becomes an issue if I want to Hide Completed Items, as I dont want "Electrical" to be hidden, just its completed contents.

I was hoping there would be a way in CSS or something to make list items with a certain tag uncompleteable (or at least not hidden when it is completed). Is this possible?

(Great product by the way. I have been using it for a while and it has helped me stay organized far better than any other outliner. The unlimited hierarchies and simple functionality lets me create outlines that fit my needs, instead of forcing me to fit my needs to the capabilities of my outliner, which is how I have felt with many other programs. Just started my free PRO trial and am really delving into all that is possible, very cool!)

    Jacob Moore, while it is not quite what you are asking for, you can change the setting "Hide completed". You won't lose your headings, but it could be annoying that other completed tasks are still visible.

    Jacob Moore In the Checkvist settings, there is an option Close parent task when the last child is closed - have you tried disabling it?

I'm really enjoy using checkvist, you are adding great features very quickly.

I'm really enjoy using checkvist, you are adding great features very quickly.  What I feel is missing is more use cases.  How are people using Checkvist?  What are some recommend workflows?  How many lists do you have? User Stories will not only help those of use already using Checkvist to be more effective, but attract more non-technical customers. I like to keep my lists at a minimum.  I only split out for sharing but I'd prefer not to. Here are my lists: * Inbox:  This is where zapier based integrations go.  I have Jira tickets and emails tagged with "!action" going to list which I process daily. * The List:  This is my primary list.  Everything is here.  I use sub-nodes for different areas. * Honey Do:  This is the list my wife and I share to make sure we know what we both want done around the house. * "Client Project" - I have a few Lists I share with clients (Free lance web developer). I"m looking to write a more detailed blog post. How are your l...

Hello friends

Hello friends, We are considering to change behaviour of move up/down command using ctrl+arrows for lists with hierarchy. The new approach is available on our beta site, https://beta.checkvist.com . Could you please try it out and tell us what you think? Thanks! https://beta.checkvist.com

Hello friends!

Hello friends! I'd like to ask for your opinion regarding multi-line text editing. This suggestion comes from one of our Russian-speaking customers Dolina Zamkova so here is a translated abstract of our email conversation. Current problem: When you write multi-line text, you must press 'Shift-Enter' first, then use 'Enter' to start a new line, then 'Ctrl-Enter' to submit the text. Wouldn't it be easier to have a setting that will allow using Enter to always write multi-line texts, and always submit on 'Ctrl-Enter', like you do it in text messengers? So we could add a new account-wide setting, on the Settings page: () Finish editing by pressing 'Ctrl-Enter' (convenient for multi-line text) What do you think? Do you write multi-line texts in Checkvist at all? Other thoughts of how we could make it better? :)
