Checklist: To be possible to edit/ reorder
Checklist is very convincing when you want to set clear actions to complete a habit. However it's now impossible to reorder, or edit a task in checklist. As a result whenever I want to change even 1 item, I need to rebuild the whole list which is very demotivating. It would be great if to make it more flexible here.

Thank you!

Checklist: Ability to reorder items on Android
It is frustrating to not be able to change or remove items in a checklist once they have been added.
It would very useful to be able to modify text, remove an item in checklist, and re-order a checklist.

Hi @Rachel
To edit the tasks or reorder them in checklist, please go to edit your habit and tap on Checklist section:
To delete: swipe the task to the left
To reorder: hold on the task then drag them up or down.
If it does not work on your device, please send us a video of how it is working on your device so we can understand the case exactly and assist you better.

The swipe to delete does work, but changing the order in a checklist doesn’t. Also changing text in a checklist item after I’ve hit Enter doesn’t work. The only way to change things is to delete then re-create checklist items. I will send a screen video.

Yes, I have the exact same issue on my android. Can the team please remove the “already done” tag on this request until its fixed? This issue is a bit annoying and makes me want to not care about updating the habit, rendering it less relevant and useful, so I dont maintain using the app.
For instance - I have a morning routine habit - wash face, walk dog, make breakfast, eat & make todays plan, then take meds. They have to be done in that order. If i want to add “drink flor-esse” (a healthy drink thats best 30 mins before eating) to the top of the list so I remember to start my day with it, I have to delete everything. So I dont add it.

Hi! I have checked again and it seems that the function to re-order items in checklist is not implemented on Android app. I am so sorry for missing this.
I just adjust the title to make the issue clearer for the developers.
If there is any further suggestion, please feel free to share with us!

It’s not just Android. I reported this issue initially and am using iPhone. I made a video but unfortunately it wouldn’t send.

Ability to edit list items in habits
Hello,
I am not able to edit list items once I create them, so if I realize I need to fix something, I have to delete the whole item and retype it completely.
I hope that makes sense. :-). Thank you!!

Edit check lists.
The checklist inside a habit are a great tool. I’m unable to edit them. I can’t delete one item or edit existing text to make corrections.
