Documentation

Non-nil means apply set of rules when acting on lists.

By default, automatic actions are taken when using
  M-RET (org-meta-return),
  C-c C-x r (org-metaright),
  C-c C-x l (org-metaleft),
  C-c C-x R (org-shiftmetaright),
  C-c C-x L (org-shiftmetaleft),
  C-c - (org-ctrl-c-minus),
  C-c C-x C-b (org-toggle-checkbox),
  C-c C-x M (org-insert-todo-heading).

You can disable individually these rules by setting them to nil. Valid rules are:

checkbox when non-nil, checkbox statistics is updated each time
          you either insert a new checkbox or toggle a checkbox.
indent when non-nil, indenting or outdenting list top-item
          with its subtree will move the whole list and
          outdenting a list whose bullet is * to column 0 will
          change that bullet to "-".

This variable was added, or its default value changed, in Emacs 24.1.
