For clarity: Do you disagree with Rohit that this is what happens, or do you disagree that it is the expected behavior? What happens when you toggle a list checkbox inside a drawer? What did you expect to happen? As far as I can see, the behavior described by Rohit is what happens, as expected, and it makes no difference if the list is in a drawer or not. Probably best if you supply the whole drawer for context. Regards, Christian
