Current Workaround

See #21506 (comment 262038275) for how to use a combination of HTML and Markdown to achieve checkboxes in a table.

Description

Currently if you add a simple unsorted list you can add checkboxes to it via - \[ \] description, I would love to have the same feature for tables.

Proposal

| Done? | Description | Extra information |
|---|---|---|
| [ ] | Things | Blah blah |
| [ ] | That | Hip Hip |
| [ ] | Need | Wunderfull |
| [ ] | Attention | |

Content Editor

Editing this description using the Rich text option currently being developed allows for task lists to be embedded in tables. This can't be accomplished using raw Markdown so the source will render out to HTML.
