Hi!

Suppose I have a "To-Do" list and a "Projects" list, as shown here:

I created checklists in the cards for Project 1 and Project 2 by copying/pasting links to each of the corresponding to-do cards:

How can I create a rule so that, for example, when I mark "Read about Project 2" as complete, the corresponding checklist item in the Project 2 card is automatically checked off?

 

Thank you!

Hi @Aleksandra ,

Welcome to the community!

You may want to set to up two automations to achieve this , 

1. To link the checklist item with the actual original card, when ever card link is added as checklist

2.When the linked card is marked as completed , the checklist item will also be marked as completed .
