Question: is there any way to set them up as checkbox items?

Nothing changes, and it has come up a few times before.

Create Checklist in Notes iOS

[image] Im trying to create a predetermined checkbox list for projects that I do infrequently but always follow the same structure. How can ensure the items are created as checkboxes rather than bullets?

Is there a way to find and duplicate this apple note in shortcuts? I imagine I could add some unique id to the note but how can I search for it and dupe it in shortcuts?

You can use the find notes where action in Shortcuts.

Then feed the content into the create note.

A lot of people hold such templates in Shortcuts or Data Jar.

Unless you need to share your shopping list, the suggestion from @Tony is going to offer you a lot of automation options.

If you need to share, consider a dedicated app like Todoist. It works well with Shortcuts, Drafts, even the Amazon Echo. It is a good option for a family shopping list, even on the free plan.

Free users can share any projects with up to 5 people (they can be a different 5 people in each project). Pro users can share projects with up to 25 people, and Business users can share with up to 50 people.

Reminders is the way to go. Im building one that takes 3 preloaded reminders lists meals/days of week/ groceries and uses sub reminders to chose meals and has their ingredients listed

On Sat eve. I plan next weeks meals - I run a custom shortcut to assign meals to days, flag the selected items in the respective lists and then add the meal into my calendar for gtd reference.

Another shortcut(wip) will then take the meal ingredients selected from above activity and will mark them as unselected in the groceries list so they become available when I manually prep the full shopping list. (See below)

I then show all items in my groceries List which has all the food Ive shopped for todate and unselect items I want to shop for. Then I hide completed items to have my next shopping list available to tick off as I go around on my next shop visit (the list is shared with my wife so we know what we need on our respective journeys)

Btw my groceries list is structured into aisles then the sub reminders are items in that aisle. Eg fruit&veg: apples/oranges etc. frozen: peas/fish/ice cream

Working well. Ive an rfid sticker on the larder door that runs a shortcut that selects the grocery list and allows me to manually unselect items for Sundays food shop
