Hi everyone,
I'm using Trello Premium to manage a training center/CRM. Each learner has a card, and their specific training milestones are tracked using Advanced Checklists (with specific due dates assigned to each checklist item).
My Goal: I want to create a centralized "Health Check" dashboard for my team. The idea is to have a global view (ideally using the Dashcards Power-Up) that counts all cards across multiple boards where at least one checklist item is overdue or due today.
The Roadblocks I've hit:
Dashcards / Filters: It seems Dashcards and Workspace filters only read the main Card Due Date, entirely ignoring Advanced Checklist item dates.
Butler (Due Date Automations): I tried to create a time-based automation to bypass this (e.g., "The moment an item in a checklist is due -> add a red label to the card"). However, Trello's time-based triggers only seem to work for Main Card Due Dates or Custom Fields, not checklist items.
My Question: Is there a clever workaround or a specific Power-Up to aggregate and track checklist due dates globally?
I know I could replace my checklist items with multiple "Date" Custom Fields to make it work with Dashcards, but Advanced Checklists are much more visually convenient for my trainers. Has anyone successfully built a dashboard tracking checklist item deadlines?
Thanks in advance for your help!
Hi @ds , :)
Hope you are doing well,
Welcome to the community!!
You are correct that Dashcards and standard Workspace filters are currently limited to the main Card Due Date.
You can track the checklist dates assigned to you via the Home tab: https://support.atlassian.com/trello/docs/how-to-use-advanced-checklists-to-set-due-dates/#View-assigned-checklist-items
You can look for a power-up which might support your workflow on our Marketplace: https://trello.com/power-ups
We have several open suggestions requests with our engineering teams related to your use case, which you can find here: TRELLO-564, TRELLO-724, TRELLO-1189.
Please note: While we do have these open requests, I can't guarantee a timeline or implementation. The team prioritises features based on factors such as user demand and current priorities. You can learn more about this by reading our Implementation of New Features Policy:
