Descriptions from most cards has disappeared suddenly!

[Sara Downes]

The descriptions for most of my cards (1,000 cards) has disappeared. I am absolutely livid and cannot find a solution or a way to get the information back or even how to get help from Trello. There is not filter turned on. Cards and their main head title is fine - just no description when the card is opened. Anyone???

Hi Sara,

Trello keeps previously saved versions of card descriptions in the background, so the information may still be recoverable.

You can try the Card Description History Power-Up:
https://trello.com/power-ups/64db4eefe5a5fe3299f0ce90

It provides a history of description changes, which should make it much easier to find the previous text than checking Trello’s API data manually.

Trello also has an official manual recovery method here:
https://support.atlassian.com/trello/docs/recovering-the-description-or-card-title-that-was-changed/

Since you have around 1,000 affected cards, I would try the Power-Up first.
