Im trying to create an automation that attaches a card and the custom field value after the custom field value is updated. 

Here's an example of the automation i made.

Everything looks right but when it gets to adding the item to the checklist it doesn't post the custom fields value.

Here's a screenshot showing the cards showing the custom field is updated.

EDIT: if i were to change the automation to make a comment on a card instead of the checklist it works like it should  - the checklist would be the preferred method Screenshot 2026-08-21 164245.png

Hello and welcome to Atlassian Community @Christell Markham 

Take a look on https://community.atlassian.com/forums/Trello-questions/Automation-how-to-target-a-triggercard-custom-field-value/qaq-p/3112955 

Try change to {triggercardlink} & EST. HRS {customfieldvalue} or that {triggercardlink} & {customfieldname}: {customfieldvalue}

Best,

Arek 🤠
