I try to use the following Cardbutton:
set custom field "List" to "{listname}", and move the card to the bottom of list "anotherlist" on board "anotherboard"
But as a result i get Custom field List cleared.
("List" is a textfield)
...thanks!!!
@Felix instead of {listname} you can use {triggercardlistname} which correctly holds the list name of the card on which the button was originally clicked.
@Felix
Hi Felix, not all variables are always usable in actions.
However, I assume that the way you address the custom field is incorrect. Custom field variables need to be addressed in Butler like this: {{%VarName}}. Can you try and use "set custom field {{%List}}", instead?
... thanks for your answer.
i addressed it correctly, the form {{%VarName}} is just necessary if you use the custom field as a variable elsewhere.
I tried now with the variable {cardname} instead of {listname}, which is working - but not what i need. So your assumption that the variable {listname} is not working on cardbuttons is correct. bummer!
What do you need the listname for in the custom field? Can you explain?
Eventually, there is a way to set a user variable (which is different to variables) to get your workflow going.
I am moving cards to a list on another board, but i want them to remember which list they came from, because later i move them back with butler, and then use the custom field variable (as you mentioned {{%VarName}}) to put them back to the same list.
how to set user variables in the butler power up?
Awesome, you made my day, thanks @Iain Dooley
