Linked card search

[Claudio Milanolo]

There is a general board where cards are assigned to me and other users, I also have a personal board to keep the status individually, to later update in the general board, creating an automation like this: when I am added to a card assigned to me , copy the card to the top of list "Inbox" on board "Trello Tasks user1" and link the cards together ."

Several users carry out this same mechanism, so that in the main card there are several cards linked to different users.

I then perform a second automation that makes changes to my personal board based on a card move on the main board: "when a card assigned to me is added to list "Done", find the first card linked in the attachments, move the card to the top of list "task done" on board "Tasks user1", and mark the due date as complete"

but in one of the attempts the following message appeared in the activity log:

"Monday, September 4, 2023 8:59 AM
Running automation on board Principal.

Doesn't have permission to access the card with id "4FHCr1S5".

The automation finished running."

Finally the action was not executed, and what I see is that it is because there are more linked cards, where mine is not the first or the last.

how can i correct this?

Hi Claudio, 

Welcome to the Atlassian Community! 

Sadly, it's currently impossible to choose a particular card except for specifying if it's the first or the last card linked in the attachments. What I can suggest is that you create a unified Automation for all linked cards. It would then work for you and any other member who created the same syncing. 

To do so, in the Cascade actions section, choose the for each card linked in the attachments action instead of the find the first card linked in the attachments one.

This example is also shown in this article on synchronizing cards: https://support.atlassian.com/trello/docs/synchronizing-cards/

Hope this helps!

thanks for your answer

if i add that automation could it affect the other cards where i am not a member? I imagine that it could not, since I do not have permissions on other cards linked to the original one, but I think that I will receive a notification for each card that I tried to move and there are no permissions. is this correct?

Yes, if you don't have access to other cards linked to the original card, they won't be affected by this rule 🙂

I've just tested it with 2 of my accounts in a test board, and the rule ran smoothly without affecting other account's cards on a private board.
