Many other apps support a critical 3rd status for todo items besides “incomplete” and “done”: “cancelled/dropped”
This is commonly rendered in Markdown with a - in the todo box: - [-] Item.
I miss the ability to do this in Bear, and wish it grew this functionality.
Thank you for the feature suggestion.
Although implementation of this can’t be guaranteed, i’ll still pass it onto our designer and the development team to consider when moving forward.
I was needing this today so I wanna +1 this. Would love to have a way to cancel a task/todo.
I know that Bear used to have completed todos form a strikethrough, and they removed that which I think it looks great now with a completed task being dimmed.
I wanted to add that for cancelled tasks only (should the feature be added) the strikethrough should make a return and also be dimmed.
Thanks.
Is this part of the CommonMark Standard? If so I would love love LOVE to have them as well.
Wouldn‘t a workaround be to strike out the task without checking the checkbox?
That’s what I ended up doing. The only issue is that you still have an incomplete checkbox which can be confusing. Or you have a checkbox that’s checked but with strikethrough and can be mistaken as a task that was completed. I opted for the latter as it dims out the text.
Ah OK, i see. I am not a specialist in markdown standards but as far as i know all markdown languages just support two states. Though the op say something different
Another idea/workaround: Highlighting the the checked but cancelled task or moving it to another section manually? Or adding a special icon 
to it?
I know how frustrating it can be to hear that something would be easily possible but is forbidden by a standard 
Maybe turn the checkbox into a list item and add a strikethrough? That’s my workaround because I use the @todo search filter often. It’s easy to switch between checkbox and list with ⌘ + T and ⌘ + L.
That’s a pretty decent workaround! Thanks for sharing!
