How to delete checklists using automation rule or button?

[Tom Phillpotts]

I can't see a rule or button automation to delete multiple checklists.

It seems to only way is to use two mouse clicks to delete each checklist.

It seems to be easier to just create a new card and copy the check lists I want to it?

Hi @Tom Phillpotts , :)
Hope you are doing well,
Welcome to the community!!

You're right, in the current version of Trello, bulk deleting checklists isn't possible.

However, for your workflow, besides automations, you might find the Template Cards feature helpful! You can create various template cards with different checklist variations and quickly generate new cards from them.

So I'm just copying each card and copying the 1-2 items from the last checklist which is the checklist I want to keep.

I think there's no easy way to automate this if I'm copying a lot of cards and the  checklists I want to copy from each card have unique names. I would need to create a rule/button for each unique checklist name, or rename all the unique check lists one by one to something shared so one automation can be used for all of them.

Would be good to have an automation variable: 'last checklist in the card' for renaming or copying. I guess there are so many scenarious we can't cover everything with automation.
