How to remove labels as part of a board button automation?

[Alain-Daniel Bourdages]

Using a board button I'm running a report filtered by labels. After the report is done, I would like to automatically remove the label from the cards. I cannot find that option as part of the board button actions. Any suggestions?

Cheers,

One solution is to chain a regular rule off of the Board button.

So have the Board button create a new card called "Remove Filters" or somesuch.

Then have a regular Rule that triggers when a card with a name starting with "Remove Filters" is added to the board, archive the card, collect all cards with "x" label in to Checklist "Remove" as links, then for each card linked in Checklist "Remove Filters", remove the "x" label.

You can play around with that, make sure the trigger card name is something you'd never name a card with etc.

Nice hack :)

It would be cool to have an automation that can remove all the labels upon triggering. For instance you press a button to move card from Complete List back to a specific list + remove all labels.

I do have lists that apply a specific label to a card so it's easy to navigate for me. Having an action that removes all labes would be useful.
