Lookup unlinked items in a checklist

Paul_wk53ad

I am using a card button with Butler that does the following:  for each checklist item in a named checklist, it converts the item to a linked card in list copying labels and members.

 

This works fine. However, sometimes I add additional items to the checklist, and I only want those new items to be converted to a linked card. So when I'm looking up the items in the checklist to converst, I only need the ones that have not already been converted to a linked card. Does anyone know how to achieve this?

Hm, I know how to do the opposite of only acting on the linked items and not the normal ones, but not the other way round..

That said, an alternative set-up might be to have a Rule where every time you create a new checklist item starting with "!" or some other little-used character, to immediately convert it in to a linked card, then rename that card as {textaftermatch}.

Its a little more demanding on the command runs. But you could have different versions of the rule with different special characters to put it in different lists or boards etc, which has been pretty useful so far for me at least.
