Check box entanglement

So far, I primarily use Joplin for shopping lists for 4 different stores. Some items I’ll buy at 1 of 3 depending on where I go first. It would be nice to check a box and have it checked for all stores where it exists and uncheck all when the item in one is unchecked.

Sounds like a cool plugin idea.

Should be very easy to implement, but not sure how easy would it be to pass it through reviewers in order to get plugin working on IOS.

This is how I would do this at the moment with inline tags. The view below is from the plugin's panel (on Android). You can check the boxes to mark items as done.

  • Each colour represents a shop
  • Top items in each card are unique to the shop
  • Bottom items are shared
    • Checking one box checks the box on all shop lists
    • You can create any combination of shops with the help of colour tags
  • All lists are stored on the same note in this example, but you may scatter them

The plugin is supported on mobile, but on iOS you will need to install the Joplin web app.
