How can I automate based on Custom field state

Question

I need to post a comment on a card that only has the custom field "Archived" unchecked.

Trick here is that the card has multiple cards attached to it and they are all archived.

Currently if I comment on the card via Butler, it comments on all cards even the linked and archived cards, which then results in emails being sent out which I don't want.

Or even better, can Butler filter on only unarchived cards?

@Keith So basically you want Butler to test the linked cards and to add the comments if the card is not archived. You know that Butler does not handle conditions. I have written Butler add on via a Http Request that handles conditions. I have proved that it can handle a use case to determine whether Butler calendar commands should be run a a particular date of the week. It might be able to use it here.

Thanks for the reply, I'm more looking to test the native archive state than convert all my attached cards to a checklist.

Just a thot, would it work if the archived cardlinks are converted to a checklist of cardlink?
