I want an automation to remove the attachments from a card when the card is added to a list.  I can only find something that removes a specific link. I have tried to save the link in a customer field so I can refer to is, but the link that gets saved is not the exact link that get attached.  For example this is the link that is attached:https://trello.com/c/kczC3LCv/273-rli-carrier, and this is link that is saved in the customer field: https://trello.com/c/kczC3LCv . Both will bring you tot he same card, so not sure why the attachment link needs to be longer.  If there an alternate variable name I should be using when I save the link into the customer field?

Trello links look the same but aren’t treated the same by Butler. Best way: use a rule like “When a card is added to list X, remove all attachments”—no need to match links.

Hello @GeographyTutors 

You said

use a rule like “When a card is added to list X, remove all attachments”

but didn't provide an explanation as to HOW to create such a rule.

Can you please provide a screen grab of the Action that 'removes all attachments' in use in that rule.
