Task template with checkboxes

Hi everyone,

I know we can create task templates. But is also possible to add checkboxes in that template, so that the technician can check an item when it's completed?
I don't know if this is important, but now we're using version 9.5.7 and soon we will change to version 10.

Re: Task template with checkboxes

Hi everyone, can someone confirm if it would be possible using the forms plugin?

Re: Task template with checkboxes

I don't know the forms plugin very well so I cannot say. For GLPI itself, I don't know of any good way to add checkboxes into the rich-text fields like the content of tasks and task templates.
A workaround is to have one task for each item with a default state of "To do" This will add a checkbox in the task itself that you can click to mark as complete.

@cconard96, thanks for the suggestions.  Do you think it is also possible to assign a couple of tasks using rules?

Re: Task template with checkboxes

There is a "Task template" rule action for Business Rules For Tickets that will probably allow you to add tasks based on templates but I haven't personally used it to say for sure.

Dear cconard96, no problem. In any case thanks a lot for your suggestions. I'll be playing with this a bit and see if I can get this to work.

Re: Task template with checkboxes

hi there,
@jvuz did you find a good way to add checkboxes to glpi tasks (or followup) ?
I'm looking for a good and userfriendly way to do this

Yes, we use the setting "to do" in the tasks, as those are tasks, and then a checkbox is shown which you can check, once a task is finished.

Re: Task template with checkboxes

yes this is the classic glpi way ... It is not the best way when you want to add a bundle of tasks
thank you
