Sync checklist item due date with linked card

Hannah Humbert April 29, 2025

I'm using Trello's dependency feature:

`when an item is added to checklist "Subtasks", convert the item to a linked card`

After creating a checklist item, I would like to assign a due date to that item. 

When a due date is set or moved in a checklist item, I would like it to update the linked card's due date. 

I've figured out how to do it in the opposite way (so when the linked card's due date changes, update the matching checklist item due date), but not the other way around.

It seems like there is no {checklistitemduedate} variable, so I'm not sure if this is currently possible.

Does anyone have any workarounds for this?

Without using the Trello API, which involves programming your own Power-Up, or finding an existing Power-Up, not really.

 

I feel like I was able to do this with some wacky automations once, but it had so many weird side effects that I stopped using it.

 

See this post I answered, but I believe this only works for what you've already figured out:
