Card Button Showing despite unchecking "Enable On this Board"

Code and information has been redacted for proprietary reasons.

The "Enable on this board" is contradictory. Despite me unchecking it. It still shows up on my cards. Further more I don't quite understand "Enabled on all boards on this team" and "Shared with team" Is there any in-depth explanation on how these work. Its frustrating that I am trying to control which people see these buttons because I have different levels of users in our company that don't require specific buttons.

Hey Souk,

That is expected behavior, although I understand why that can be a bit confusing. To clarify, let's cover the behavior of each of those checkboxes first:

1. Enabled on this board - Pretty self explanatory, it toggles whether or not the Butler button is enabled on the board.
2. Enabled on all boards on this team - This toggles whether or not the button is enabled on every board in the associated Trello team. If for example you wanted to use this same button on another board, you'd want to check that box. Otherwise, to see the same button on another board, you'd need to re-create it there as well.
3. Shared with team - This toggles whether or not your other Trello team members can see and use the button as well. If only you want to use it, then you would leave it unchecked.

The third box has no part to play in the behavior you're seeing here. What's causing this specifically is the second box, Enabled on all boards on this team. When you enable that, you are telling Butler you want this button enabled on every board in the team, so it does just that.

If you go to another board, you'll see that button, and if you open the Butler menu, you'll see it there too. However, if you uncheck Enabled on this board in that board, nothing will change, as you've found.

That's because the second box takes precedence over the first. You can't disable it individually because the other, enable all box explicitly enabled it on all boards. To fully disable that button on a board, you'd instead need to uncheck the second box.

Regarding sharing, I'm afraid there aren't super granular options for who can and cannot see them when Shared with team is enabled. Any members of your Trello team can see those buttons and use them, so you'd need to separate those permissions by removing team members and instead adding them to the board directly as guests.

Hopefully that helps explain, but let me know if any more questions come up!
