Deprioritize Issue checklist item counts
Summary
The current "checklist items" counts are given significant priority, appearing in the list and in the issue header. With the addition of Tasks objects these counts now compete conceptually, further highlighting that checklist items are overprioritized in the UI. Merge Requests contain the same functionality but display the count only in the list.
Add a count of child items including completion... (#369905) should be prioritized in list views over this information.
Potential Direction
Shift to Description metadata
Checklist items exist within the description, and if this detail continues to provide value it could be placed alongside "Edited" as part of the description metadata. The count would be removed from issue lists.
Checklist and edited | Checklist | Edited | Checklist complete (optional) |
---|---|---|---|
