Hide Completed for some parent bullets, but not others
It's a shame that Hiding Completed bullets is a global feature. It would be better if Hiding Completed bullets could be applied on a case-by-case basis.
Under some headers, like ongoing to-do lists, you want to hide completed bullets to prevent them from clogging up your view, but still keep them as a searchable archive.
Under other headers, like shopping lists or task checklists, you don't want to hide completed bullets because you want to see how much has been achieved and how close you are to task completion.
(It seems like the To-Do List bullet style was an attempt to address this need, but wasn't functionally any different from regular bullets.)

I would like express my support for this feature request. I like to hide items as I complete them but it would be nice if I could turn it off as for selected nodes. I assume if someone preferred to globally not hide completed items, they would want to turn it on for selected nodes.

Also adding support.
Personally, I'd agree that this feels like a good differentiator between regular Bullets and To-Do Lists. I often want To-Do Lists to show me what I've completed, but rarely want regular Bullets. Ideally, the user would be able to override this functionality on a per-entry basis, but the default for To-Do Lists could be "always show completed" and Bullets as "always hide completed" as a way to separate them a little. As a bonus, the To-Do List completed icon just looks quite nice; seems a shame that you've designed a UI that works this way and then most people will never see it!
Even without that functionality change (could be a toggle setting as well, to preserve existing workflows and expectations) the ability to set this on a per-entry basis would be great. Some examples:
- Travel Checklists. I have a template for any time I fly that lets me see what needs to happen (insurance, seat booking, online check-in, luggage requirements etc.) but I often want to see what I've done, just for my own peace of mind.
- Packing Checklists. Similarly, it's useful to see what you have packed, not just during packing but also for when you're returning, to make sure you still have everything.
- Safety Checklists. Again, useful to double-check as you go through to ensure that key safety requirements have been met.
-
I'd like to lobby for this as well! With packing lists, you want to retain the items for reuse but with a bullet list of To Do items, you don't need to view after they're completed. It would be so very helpful to have a setting for each list to customize this feature! Also, as an aside, if anyone knows of a global reset to toggle all back on at once (like a packing list) after I complete them, I'd love to hear it! Many thanks!
