WTH dealing with duplicates in todo lists

Month of "What the heck?!"

I normally add items to my shopping list and mark them done, without removing them. This helps me keep a list of what I’ve previously needed as a reminder.

When add items, I have to either scroll through the todo list and find if what I’m adding is already there, or just add a duplicate item.

A possible solution could be to automatically filter the todo list when adding an item, possibly with a toggle as it might be counterproductive for some use cases. The shown items could then be unchecked, or I could continue filling in the needed item.

I’d like to see an option in the “add to do list item” action to say “skip if already on list, even if completed”, “skip if already on list” or something to that effect. This makes it easier to add items on the shopping list in automations without ending up with duplicates.
