The Case function is perfect to use for your case. But just so you know, the original would have needed to look like this:

IF(
[All Tasks]="04.Hang",true,
[All Tasks]="06.Scrap",true,
[All Tasks]="08.Finish",true,
[All Tasks]="09.Finish.Gar Tape",true,
.....,false)

Alternately, with formula check box fields, you can simply give it the conditions that make it true, without even an if formula.

[All Tasks]="04.Hang" or
[All Tasks]="06.Scrap" or
[All Tasks]="08.Finish" or
[All Tasks]="09.Finish.Gar Tape", or
.....
