How do I remove column checkmarks from a parent row?

kronschobl

I have created a sheet with parent and child rows, and columns that include checkmarks. The parent rows are solid blue horizontally, but the checkmarks show in each column. I want to remove the checkmarks in the columns so it's a solid blue line horizontally for all parent rows. How do I remove the checkmarks? Thanks!

@kronschobl Unfortunately, you can't not have that. Since SS is more akin to a database than an excel sheet alternative, all columns have to have the same format. BUT, here is a discussion about how to make it "appear" like there is no checkbox.
