Task Lists are not displayed Interactively in Custom Templates

Over in Interactive Checklist items for custom templates - #4 by Malcolm I was getting very confused. I had two collections that were not displaying task lists when using a custom template and I was getting them mixed up.

There are two separate situations that caused my confusion. Both of them cause the HTML renderer to produce “read-only” task list check boxes.

  1. Generating a custom template and not making any changes.

    • in this situation the allfields command generates inert task list check boxes.
    • removing the allfields code, and uncommenting the code for individual fields rectifies the problem.
  2. When the label of the Body field in the template is not “body”

    • in this situation the html renderer generates inert task list check boxes.
    • changing the label of the Body field to “Body” rectifies the problem
