Regenerate ID when copy-pasting checkboxes

Open Lavaeolous opened this issue 1 year ago • 1 comments

Currently, selecting a checkbox and copying it into a new cell copies the content as-is. It would be a very helpful addition to trigger the generation of a new id when an existing checkbox is pasted into the same document.

Alternatively a function to regenerate the id's on all checkboxes in the current document would work as well.

My use-case is tracking campaign preparation for a rpg: image

Entering that many checkboxes manually is not fun, so i'm looking for easier ways.

Although it's not a solution, a workaround I've found is to use keyboard macros to quickly input the textbox notation. Perhaps using a complex macro you could fully automate the creation of your checkboxes, at least until a solution is built into the plugin.

A command to regenerate checkbox ID's has been added to 3.0.0, alongside some improvements to the automatic conversion
