Trello Butler Rules - Wildcards Question

Question

Hi!

I have 3 boards (named Board 1, Board 2, Board 3) I'm trying to sync to a "To Do List" board. Each board has a list named "{name of board here} - To Dos" (the same list name is also on the To Do List board). My wildcards don't seem to work. I'm trying to:

* Every time a card is added to a board under the "{name of board here} - To Dos", it's copied to board To Do List under the same list name it came from
* Any changes in either card (either in its own board or on the To Do List) will reflect on the other card (using CardSync)

I tried "{*} - To Dos" , "{listname} - To Dos" , "{boardname} - To Dos" but none of them seem to work. What did I do wrong?

Here's the rule I tried (that isn't working). Hope anyone can help me out!

* A quotation mark " is automatically generate by butler. 
* A braquet { must be typied by you, it concerns all trello variables value.  
* A custom field must be create in each board with power up custom field in one card. Then it will automatically deploy for all other cards in the board.

If you use the rules without modification, in your case you will create new lists in each board titled todo.

If not necessary, I recommand you not to include a board name in a list name. It will complicate the rules building uselessly.

But, if you want absolutely conserv the boardname in the list  for the first rule

when a card is added to list "{boardname} - To Dos", lookup a card titled "{boardname}" on board "technicalboard", and set custom field "MyField" to "{foundcarddescription}"

when custom field "MyField" is set to "{*}-{*}", copy the card to the top of list "{wildcard1} - To Dos" on board "{wildcard1}", copy the card to the top of list "{wildcard2} - To Dos" on board "{wildcard2}", and clear custom field "MyField"

Hi, thank you very much for the help! Sorry, I'm not too technical with conditions yet and do I need to add the quotation marks when I'm typing the fields? Do I need to define/make a MyField per card for this to work? I can't seem to get this to work so I'm pretty sure I'm just doing it wrong.

Really sorry but can you help me out?

To visualize it better, I'm making 4 boards:

* Board 1 is named "YMCA" , it has a list named "YMCA - To Dos" and has other lists 
* Board 2 is named "GL", it has a list named "GL - To Dos" and has other lists 
* Board 3 is named "Nido" , it has a list named "Nido - To Dos" and has other lists 
* Board 4 is named "To Do List", it has 3 lists "YMCA - To Dos", "GL - To Dos" and "Nido - To Dos"

So if I make/update a card in board "GL" in the list "GL - To Dos", it'll copy/update the card in board "To Do List" under "GL - To Dos". And hoping to make it copy/update as well if I update the card directly from the "To Do List".

I'd really appreciate some more help. I'm still learning these Trello conditions :)
