`org-list-set-checkbox' modifies the structure, i.e., the internal list
representation. It doesn't modify the buffer. You would have to apply
the new structure to the buffer with `org-list-write-struct'.

Just started today to want to do some thing, so I am a tabula rasa. ;-)

 

Anyway, it's much simpler to use `org-toggle-checkbox'.

That goes wrong when there is a marked region. I only want to set the current checkbox.

 

So I have to work out how to use org-list-wrte-struct.

I have an org-file wth the folowing:
- [ ] A (setq struct (org-list-struct))
- [-] B (org-list-get-checkbox 41 struct)
- [ ] C (org-list-set-checkbox 41 struct "[X]")
- [ ] D (org-list-get-checkbox 41 struct)
- [ ] E (org-list-write-struct struct (org-list-parents-alist struct))

In A I fill the struct.

B displays "[-]"

C displays "[X]"

D displays "[X]", so the struct is correctly updated.

E gives: #<marker in no buffer>

What is going wrong here?
