How can I make a list that will be a checklist, not inside a card?

How can I make a list that will be a checklist, a list that will be a checklist without the need to enter in to the card information?

Hi,

Are you using the Stride API to build an app for Stride?

Cheers,

Is there an API available to read and manipulate checklist/action/highlights?

[Tanguy Crusson]

Not yet. Today what you can do is send messages that contain actions. This, in turn, creates the action and adds it to the room highlight. However you cannot yet change the state of this action, or be notified when it gets completed. 

You could periodically query the message history to figure out the state of an action (which will get updated when the action is ticked off), but that wouldn't be very scalable.

Too bad. I was thinking about new add-on that expands actions/highlights capabilities. 

Currently, they are almost useless as there is no "hide completed" button along with many other must-have features. As a result, it is very hard to find an uncompleted action in the room with over 30 of them. 

Thanks,
Jack
