How to find the next card in a list with Butler Power Up

Question

I have my Done List on my main board. I also have several project boards that feed into the main board, as I'm usually working on multiple projects at any given time.

I would love to use the Butler PowerUp with the trigger "when card with {ProjectLable} is moved to the Done list on Main Board" and the action "Find next card in {ProjectList} on {CategoryBoard} and move to Incoming Tasks list on Planning Board." Text in brackets to vary given the specific project.

I could use due dates, but then project tasks build up and get pushed back and shoved into another list that is getting pretty unwieldy. I'd rather not use Command Builder/Butler Bot, since that's no longer supported.

If there isn't a way to use the PowerUp, is there a work around?

you can look for the top card in a list with a wildcard {*} like this:

find a card titled "{*}" in list "{ProjectList}"...

But maybe I did not understand your problem?

@[deleted]cool well if you do want to go ahead with it I write this type of stuff for my clients, or you can just hire someone on upwork to do it, Trellinator is open source:

I was just using generic names because there is more than one project and more than one board involved. The Trellinator looks like fun, but I really don't have a lot of time to play around with it. That's why I was hoping there's an option within the Butler PowerUp, itself.

Thanks, anyway!
