Create a card from checklist Item when I am mentionned in it

GrégoryBacquet1

Hello,

I Would like to make a rule to do that :

When I am mentionned in a checklist item, create a card with newcardname = itemname but without the @username and attach the sourcecard to newcard.

Moreover, I would like that when I move the new card to a list "XXX", the checklist Item is automatically check in sourcecard.

Thank you in advance for your help.

Hi

Try this :

when an item containing "{* }@{?}" is added to checklist "Checklist name", convert the item to a linked card in list "Listname" using pattern "{wildcard1}"

And

when a card is added to list "Listname", find the first card linked in the attachments, and check item "{triggercardlink}"

Thank you for your fast reply.

But the first part doesn't work because I would like it works not only when I add an item but also when I add a username in an existing item. moreover, I still have in the card name the username.

To precise my request : Somebody add my username in an item eg: "@myusername do this action". I would like create a card in another board with cardname "do this action" with sourcecard linked in this card.

For the second part it doesn't work either cause butler telling me "I couldn't find a checklist item called "XXX"" . Doesn't it work only if I'm in the same board.

Thank you in advance

The only trigger for an item with butler :

Added
Removed
Checked
Unchecked

Either If item trigger is not appropriate, you should use an another way.

Either when a member is mentioned, the user should check the item. By this way, the action is triggered. After that you can create a rule to uncheck the item.

Make sure that the link between the two cards is bilateral :

The parent card has an item in a checklist which links to the child card.
The linked card from an item has an attachment which links to the parent card.

Make sure that the searched card is not deleted or archived.

Hi @GrégoryBacquet1

I think you might want to do something like this in Butler:

For your second question, I would think that something like this:

Hi

You have this options

when I am mentioned in a checklist on a card with a name containing "{* }@{$}", convert the item to a linked card using pattern "{wildcard1}"

And

when a card is added to list "{listname}", for each card linked in the attachments, check item "{triggercardname}"
