Change all due dates in checklist to next year

Question

We are working on Trello cards for events that happen at our business annually. Each event is a separate card.

I am trying to create an automation that when a card is moved to a certain list that all of the due dates in all of the checklists are reset to be due in one year later. I am able to do this for the card's main due date, but can not find a way to set the checklists items to be due in one year.  There are options to set the checklist due dates to the next day, the next month, at a later time, but not in a year.

Any way to do this?

Hello Nancy, thanks for your reply. Unfortunately, your method is not offering me what I need. I need to have an automation that moves the due date of a card and the due dates of its checklist items to tomorrow (for instance), and I need that to happen when I copy that card to a specific list (without further user interaction). As far as I understood, Trello offers the possibility to do that only for the due date of the card, but not for the due dates of its checklist items.

Hi Gabriele, This is the Butler Automation Button to create. It will untick all of the tasks in the checklist and move their due date to +1 year.

You will need to change the checklist(s) to the title (in my example to "Test checklist") and then change it back afterwards. You can create any title when you create your automation. I have not found a way to change all of the checklists on the card at once.

Hello! I am also trying to create an automation that moves both the card's due date and the checklist item's due dates to the next day. Unfortunately, I cannot get the "move the item due day" action working.
