Any Powerups that filter cards by whether they contain checklist, description, or attachments?

I love the current filter Trello has. It, combined with labels, allows me to switch between a big-picture view of the tasks I need to complete or a close-up view of a specific problem with a couple keystrokes and button clicks. It's fast, it's clean, it works.

However, in addition to this, I really need a feature that adjusts the filter so it allows me to filter by the elements a card contains. Specifically, I'd like to be able to temporarily hide any cards that DON'T contain checklists with a couple clicks (and be able to quickly revert to viewing all cards again).

Does anyone know of any Powerups that would enhance the filter in such a way?

I've seen some of the Custom Field Powerups, but they're a bit too complicated for my low-tech brain and look like they'd require too much set-up to be worth it for the hefty preexisting boards (100+ cards per list in some cases) for which I'd need such a feature.

Thanks in advance for any suggestions!

Hi @Incredigirl , worth separating two things here: the Filter sidebar you're using (keyword, members, due date, labels, status) has no has:description or has:attachments option, those operators only exist in the separate Search bar, and there's no has:checklist at all, not even there. checklist: only matches specific text inside a checklist, not whether a checklist exists.

  • For description and attachments specifically, typing board:YourBoard has:description or has:attachments in the top Search bar does work today, it's just a separate, slower flow than your Filter sidebar.
  • For checklist presence, since there's no native option, two Power-Ups in the Marketplace look built for exactly this: Completeness Badge, which adds a checklist completion label you can then filter with your normal label filter, and Smart Card Indicators, which lets you configure a badge for any condition, including checklist presence, that you can also filter on. I haven't tested either hands-on, so check their setup before committing on a 100+ card board.
