Is there a way to ensure a rule applies to every card on a list when I move it?

I haven’t found one—Trello’s automation rule engine must not recognize list moves as also being card moves—but below is the workaround I use. First, on the new board, I:

1. create a new list I call “Utility,” and
2. create an automation rule whose trigger is is “when a card is added to list Utility” and whose action(s) is/are the action(s) I want to have happen.

Then, I move the original list from the original board to the new board. On the new board, at the top right corner of the original list, I then click the List actions button (aka, “•••”), select Move all cards in this list, and select Utility. Finally, I follow basically same clickpath to move the cards back to the original list (and either archive the Utility list or move it to the far right of the new board where it’s out of the way but I can use it again if I need to).
