Mark checkbox "removed" or "shouldn't be done" in tasks for Paper docs

Is it possible to mark checkbox as that task is removed, something like strikethrough with x in the checkbox? I think that this would be very useful because when you go back to check what you have done before you can get a much better idea what is actually done and what wasn't necessary to be done.

    Hey skakunm, thanks for giving me the opportunity to talk about Paper Tasks, there have been some recent minor changes & I’d happily discuss it with you here! 
     
    Please note that you can now access all your Tasks on: https://paper.dropbox.com/?openTasklet=1 (though https://paper.dropbox.com/tasks will also do the trick), where you can see all your Things to do By Date & By Doc & you can also Filter as below: 

     

    From there, you can organize & manage your Tasks when they’re completed (eg. get rid of the ones that are overdue or check back on unassigned ones &c.). Once done, we’ll let you know of your progress, so that you can start afresh:

     

    Moving forward, we might also be of a bit assistance reminding you of your next project:
     

     

    I understand how this functionality ❎ would benefit you though & I’d happily pass your interest on to our higher-level technicians, since our dev team is actively working on adding more features on Paper. 
     
    Again, thanks a lot for checking in with us on our Forum, I appreciate the time you devoted to share your thoughts with us here & I hope you enjoy the rest of your day!

    Hey skakunm

    I just wanted to update this idea and mention that you are able to have the box of a task check-marked and strikethrough the text in a Paper doc!

    You can find more on to-do lists and task management here

    If you have any other ideas, keep them coming!
