Add custom field information from linked card to custom field in original card

Nicole Miara

Hi,

I have 2 cards- one containing mentee information, the other containing mentor information. 

Once the 2 persons are in the mentoring , i link them by attaching one to another as trello attachment.

I want to add custom fields from the attachment to the card it is attached to.

 

How can i do that?

I tried Buttler with the following command:

when a card is moved into list "Active Mentoring", lookup the first card linked in the attachments, and set custom field "E-Mail" to "{{%Mentee E-Mail}}"

This does not work- what did i do wrong?

One good way to troubleshoot Butler is to try making the rule very simple and see what happens.  Then if that works, add in the pieces until you figure out what isn't working.

So for example, you could start with

when a card is moved into list "Active Mentoring", add a Red label - just to check it's working. 

Then try

when a card is moved into list "Active Mentoring", lookup the first card linked in the attachments, and change the title to the first card's title

etc.
