Hi Tobias_Christensen,

Would the "Yes/No Checkbox" JSON column format work? More details here: https://github.com/SharePoint/sp-dev-list-formatting/tree/master/column-samples/yesno-checkbox

Someone would still need to "tick off" the customer.

I hope this helps.

Hi Norman Young

Thanks very much for the answer, this does look amazing!

However, the issue that i am having is that one still needs to acces the individual element on the list in some way, either by editing the individual item or making use of "quick edit". What I would have liked to achieve was to in some ways create a check list where it would be possible to open the SP list and tick boxes off without having to enter any sort of 'Edit' mode 🙂

  Hi Tobias_Christensen,
  
  I understand but don't think it is possible with "out of the box" functionality. You could add a Flow "button" to your list (see link below for details) that could set the tick boxes. The behavior will not be as fluid as you desire.

  Let us know what you end up doing. I see value in what you are attempting.
  
  I hope this helps.
