Pinning cards to the top of the list.

Eric Rivera_mylo36

I have setup some cards as my headers on all my lists with graphics and colors as a label to the list.  Whats happening is, when I run my butler automation which archives all cards in the list that are 5 days old, it archives the card that I setup as a header.  Is there a way to lock the card so that the automation doesn't affect it?  Maybe pinning it somehow?  Every 5 days that card get thrown into the archive and then I have to manually place it back in to my list.

 

Perhaps with butler I can move the card back to my list after I run the archive command?

Hey @Eric Rivera,

Thanks for the suggestion. Frozen/pinned cards is currently not possible but has certainly been floating around internally as an idea, so I went ahead and followed up on it (personally, I'd like it as well). No promises on anything there, but I'll keep you posted if I hear anything.

Regarding your specific issue with Butler, you are correct in that a workaround is definitely possible. One option could be to have a combo of Butler rules that essentially copies the header card and then immediately archives the source. You could set this to run within 5 days so that the header never gets archived by your preexisting archive rule. 

Hope that helps.
