Hi

Hi,

Is there a way to update every task that's overdue (in the current list - or in the due page) to today? This is my use case:

I rarely get to tick off every task set to "today" on a daily basis, so the first thing I do every day is select all the overdue tasks (which takes a while, because I can't use select all from the ^overdue search as it also selects the branches that are not themselves overdue) and I set them all to today. Once I have done that, I then search for ^today, which includes the previously overdue tasks (now reset to toda) AND the tasks I had previously set to do today's date in the past so that I can re-assess my priorities.

Come to think of it, if select all would select only the items matching the search (and not the branches - which I want to see but not match) that would fix my problem - is that possible?

The closest uservoice idea to this I've seen is but it has only 5 votes :(

    Hello Xavier B, would a feature like multiple selection support on due page solve the problem?

    We have not implemented it, it is a bit difficult in a case when tasks from multiple lists are selected (especially with working Undo). Just in case, I've just added this request to UserVoice: checkvist.uservoice.com - Multiple selection support on due page to change due for several items at once

    Thanks,

    That would be a start, but really I want that in the main list as it would be a lot more useful. I don't tend to use the due screen much, I found that it works better if I have one (currently experimenting with 2) lists.

    Anyway I'm out of votes, and I don't want to redirect some of my votes to that idea since I need other features I voted on more.

    Hello Xavier B, I've added checkvist.uservoice.com - Turn the result of a "filter" into a selection to our "small fixes" candidate list, will try to squeeze it into the next update of the web app. No promises, though.

Hello friends

Hello friends, Recently we've got a request to introduce a shortcut to move items to the first/last position on the current level of hierarchy: https://checkvist.uservoice.com/forums/2121-general/suggestions/15758854-shortcut-to-send-an-item-at-the-top-of-the-current And this bring me to a thought to use the current shortcut (Ctrl+Home/Ctrl+End) for this purpose. But with an extension - if an item is already on the top position on the current hierarchy level, Ctrl+Home would move item one level up (and put it at the beginning of this level). This will break the current behaviour (moving item to the beginning of the list), but probably will make this shortcut more useful. What do you think? https://checkvist.uservoice.com/forums/2121-general/suggestions/15758854-shortcut-to-send-an-item-at-the-top-of-the-current

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
