Why can't I use dropdown custom fields with the Dashcard power-up tool?

[Chloé Perceval]

Hi, 

I use the dashcard power-up to count cards from a Trello board. 

One of the custom fields on this board is a drop down field named "publication month". It allows me to see when projects are published throughout the year. 

However I cannot use the dashcard power-up to track this, since the only custom fields I can select in my dashcard are the checkbox ones (see screenshot). 

Is there any reason for this? Is there a way to have my other custom fields show up on the dashcard? 

Thanks a lot,

Chloé

What I understand is that only CF of type text can be used in Dashcards.

@Chloé Perceval welcome to the community!

Does the board Collections - Editorial Calendar has "publication month" customfield?

if you add a new custom Dashcard filter do you see the "publication month" customfield option?

Hi!

Yes, it does (it's a dropdown though, not a list, see screenshot). 

And no, if I add a new dashcard I can only see the checkbox custom fields, so not this one.

@Chloé Perceval I tried to replicate this but I am unable to. The Dashcard allows me too add dropdown:

I would suggest checking with Trello Support  on this.

Oh wow that's interesting, thanks for trying to replicate! I'll see if Trello support can help me here.

If you manage to fix it with the support then please update us here, so it can help others facing the same problem.
