Check box counter function applied to todo items in org-mode

Question

In org-mode, is there a function to perform the [x/y] counter function on a list of "todo" items, similar to that feature which exists for checkbox? (That is, to automatically count the number of items that are in a non-done state.)

Answer 1

I think comments below your question already provide the answer for your question. But also check here, that guide you how you can make this counter recursive across the hierarchy of nested to-dos.
