Hey,
I want to use a universal task with the type checklist. After submitting the record I cannot add checklist items even with my admin user.
Has somebody an idea to fix that problem?

Are you saying you want to add something to the task table's view? Because the Task table is special. You have to have a type and each type has a specific format. So to do that, you'd have to add the Checklist formatter to each table.
If that's not what you mean, please give a little more detail. Thanks.

Hi @PaKe ,
There is no additional setup required, you just need to add the checklist on form and you are good to go.
Note: You will not get this option in new record.

But like you can see on my screenshot this arrow is not visible. Do you have an idea why?

Ah, I see. Check the ACLs on the checklist_item table. That's where those get created.
