Marking all tasks DONE by one click (several Levels of hierarchy)

We have project sheets with several levels of hierarchy items (parents, children, ancestors).

I would like to have the option to mark all tasks DONE with one click to the highest hierarchy of a checkbox column. So far, I only found several solutions which would work on first level of indentation, but not lower levels.

Is there a function, or function/automation combination enabling this?

Thank you!

You would need a helper column for the formula or manually enter it in the lower levels, but it would look something like this:

=IF(COUNTIFS(ANCESTORS([Checkbox Column Name]@row), @cell = 1) > 0, 1)
