What would be even more ideal if it would be possible to have a choice between a **strict** implementation and a **loose** implementation of checkboxes within the same software.

The loose one is the one you describe above, which leaves it to the user to decide which item to add a checkbox to, and the checkboxed items can be ticked independently from each other (e.g. as it is in CT).

The strict one assigns a checkbox to every outline item automatically and all sub-tasks need to be completed before a parent task be declared complete (e.g. as it is in Bonsai).

Perhaps even some other permutations are possible. At the moment I don’t know of a software that can do both of the above.
