This is a big one but Iโ€™d love to see a checkbox list field.

I can then ditch Trello!

+1 for checklists. I get that itโ€™s not DB standard, but itโ€™s a core part of project management, and shouldnโ€™t require hacks

We could relly benefit from this. Sometimes you get a huge list of changes or things to do related to a Project and having a Task table is not ideal in that case.
For example:
I have project: Super Duper Video. I have a couple of tasks related to it: Change music. Finish editing. Send to client. I then, receive an email from client, he had a change of heart in relation to the storyboard, he sends 20 changes. I could: have 20 additional tasks or I could have one big tasks: Apply Tuesday Feedback which includes all the changes with checkbox.

Yeah definitely need this, the only workaround atm is using either multiple select in one column or creating multiple columns with a checkbox in each.

Hi!

This feature would be awesome, specially to mark completed tasks and know whatโ€™s pending clearly

Even using Markdown would be better than nothing:

This community chat works with Markdown:
