Having checklists that aren't treated as tasks and stay checked on the note would be very useful.
At least for my use cases, I'd also generally like completed tasks to stay as tasks and just have a completed state on the note. Completed tasks getting deleted from the note body is a good behavior primarily for tasklist notes, IMO. If the tasks are embedded within a note that's project reference or the like, deleting them from the note body is actively counterproductive.

"Allow tasks to stay inline when completed, dismissed or hidden "

would accomplish this same purpose
Checklist items and tasks are fundamentally different things. Checklist items are not tasks, they do not need any other properties than label and state and should never appear in the tasks view. As requested, when checking an item it should remain inline and not be hidden or removed.
Agree 100% with User #86729 - this is ideal for things like travel packing and grocery shopping checklists, where each individual item is not a separate 'Task' (even if the list itself might be related to or used, and re-used, in the context of a task). You can otherwise 'hack' it by using bullets and either normal or strikethrough formatting, but that's much more fiddly to apply/remove than just checking/unchecking a box (plus slightly less nice looking as you won't get the grey-out effect as well as strikethrough, nor the checkboxes making it obvious as a checklist rather than any other normal bullets).
I'd suggest they could be visually distinguished from Tasks by, for example, having circular rather than 'square' checkboxes and no background shading of the line/paragraph (or priority-colour bar at the left edge) - and could be created by starting a line with, say, "{ } " instead of "[ ] " (plus any other applicable methods like GUI buttons, hotkeys, ...).
Totally agree. Checklist items and tasks are fundamentally different things
I find myself wanting this functionality more and more. I think it could be accomplished and would make some of my workflows a little easier.
I totally agree. I want to use a checklist to check people into a meeting. However this is impossible with amplenotes.
