Free Card Mirroring

Martina Klimovicova

Hello everyone,

I've read a couple articles about card mirroring but didn't find what I need. So just a quick question - is there a way how to mirror cards without having to pay for any external app?

I have several boards with the same cards so is there a way to update one card and have the same card on a different board updated simultaneously?

Thank you.

Hi @Martina Klimovicova 👋

I've taken a look at this for you and I'd recommend reading this article on Trello if you haven't already >> https://help.trello.com/article/1097-mirroring-cards

Unfortunately if you are looking for a 2-way sync the only option is to pay (after a free trial) for either:

Unito: With Unito you can mirror cards or entire boards two-ways, meaning updates made on any one version of a card are automatically reflected on all other duplicates.
Placker: The Placker integration allows you to setup various types of syncs across boards and cards. Check out how to get started with Placker here.
CardSync: The CardSync integration allows you to create and manage groups of cards that sync with each other across multiple boards.

I hope this helps but if you have any other questions just ask away 😃

All the best,

Laura

Hey @Martina Klimovicova

You will be able to soon as Trello are working on their own version of this. However some features will probably be for Business Class users only, though this is still TBC.

I made a video a little while ago with some details of what we know so far about this. Though last I heard it they were aiming for late May for a release, but let's see!

Thank you, Dan. I hope they will release it soon.

Martina Klimovicova

Thank you very much Laura!

As you say, I am looking for the 2-way sync so I hope that Trello will release it soon.

Many thanks and have a great day,

Martina

Hi Dan i recived this information via this Youtube video you are sharing.
Hope it's released soon.

It is now mid August! Does anyone know if or when Trello will be releasing their version of card mirroring???

Kellie Bower

Trello did a webinar back in February 2021 indicating that by May 2021 they would release the card mirror feature. As of today (a YEAR later), they still haven't delivered. It's frustrating that they would actually present this option and then not deliver when it's probably the highest-requested feature from their users. Hopefully they deliver it at some point, though it's not looking promising.

I do not accept that Laura Colton has answered this question. How do I change the annoying "Answer accepted" label — when clearly the answer provided does not really address the question?

Perhaps "Question avoided" or "Question ignored" labels are needed?

Hi Atlassian,

This is a really big issue to solve. Can you provide an update on card mirroring into other boards so we can get a master view of work across teams and projects? Otherwise Trello is not a scaleable option. Not interested in paying third parties for add-ons that should be pretty standard and included.

Thanks!

Not sure why this is congratulating me for posting an answer when I was posting a comment

Craig Canapari

I too am curious about this feature. Congrats for bumping the thread, maybe?

DesignThinking

Don't hold your breath!

Atlassian / Trello do not give a sh*t about the needs and requirements of end-users. Like too many once great apps, it's now only about the money. While great for the original founders, selling to Atlassian has ended meaningful development of a once promising tool. Their latest cynical wheeze ("Workspace View") is such an obvious yet half-arsed attempt to avoid the clearly better 'card-mirroring' solution, it's embarrassing.

Unfortunately, Trello is now little more than a sad exemplar of squandered opportunities. Such a waste.

My organisation has dumped Trello-like kanban boards (Trello aptly demonstrated that, beyond shopping lists, such apps actually decrease visibility and project management effectiveness). We're currently trialling awork (www.awork.io). A young app that has yet to be invaded by the money maggots like Atlassian and actually shows some promise.

Kraisst, the 2-way-sync is not a native feature? Even for Enterprise Users??

I'm new to Trello and about to sign up for my organisation, but the amount of £$€ to spend on top of the Trello license for even the most obvious and logical utilities like card syncing across multiple boards fir a helicopter view of activities is so essential for project management.

Showing UNITO where to stick their horrendously overpriced subscription by bringing some of these tools directly into Trello would be amazing. But I have the feeling that UNITO are paying Trello to not do exactly that.

Kellie Bower

We use the Enterprise version, and this is not an included feature. You can use power-ups (and pay additional costs) or limited rules (like copying comments made on one card to another), but no, this is not released.

Nadja von Massow

Yes, that's what I gathered. Thanks for confirming. I revert back to my original point. It would be a massive added value to the paid Trello plans and take some wind out of UNITO's sail.

I just want to keep this thread alive and current because I still really want this feature. I'm baffled how this is not a native feature yet!!!!! I just want Atlassian to know: WE STILL WANT THIS!!!

Graciela Rincón

I would like to know how much longer (days, months, or years) we have to wait for us to have a concrete response to this functionality that was offered to us and we have not yet received since 2020. We are already in 2024 and we still don't have it, we don't have concrete answers, nobody says anything, and nobody gives a viable solution. Using Unito or the other options that are not free but only for a few days, and are more expensive than TRELLO is not an option.

Why do they offer something that they can't deliver to us? - THIS IS NOT SOLVED!!

Graciela Rincón

Agree!

Graciela Rincón

THIS IS NOT RESOLVED. WHY IS IT MARKED AS RESOLVED?

IS IT A STRATEGY TO BE FORGOTTEN AND PEOPLE TO FORGET IT?

PLEASE DON'T TREAT US LIKE IGNORANTS!

IF YOU CANNOT PERFORM THE FUNCTION THAT YOU OFFERED, PLEASE COMMIT RESPONSIBLY BUT STOP PLAYING WITH OUR TIME.

DesignThinking

One can only assume that Atlassian has struck some 'deal' with UNITO to withhold this native Trello functionality. But then, from our experience, Atlassian has little interest in really improving Trello — or in the opinions of their users.

Situations like this demonstrate how far the IT (and internet) revolution has travelled. The present model of software development no longer really supports innovation or true improvement longer term (i.e. post IPO or company sale). As apps like Trello mature, simple greed becomes the dominant motivating driver of their once idealistic and revolutionary developers.

I would love to be proved wrong by Atlassian, but (as stated previously) won't be holding my breath!

Graciela Rincón

I very much agree with what you say. Exactly the idea that they sold this functionality to UNITO and now perhaps they cannot revoke it or they have some agreement that we do not know about, was the first thing I thought of since I could not find a viable answer to this situation.

Anyway, whether or not they are interested in granting us functionality, the only thing I think they should do is at least RESPECT US as TRELLO consumers and NOT OFFER US things that were 4 YEARS ago (YEARS!!!!!!!!!!!) !!) they cannot comply because that is a lack of respect for the consumer and us as clients/users.

If you are not going to comply, communicate it, but DO NOT PUT THE ISSUE RESOLVED SO THAT IT IS FORGOTTEN BECAUSE THAT IS LYING.

It seems to me that they offered it and they have postponed it or they have forgotten it so that we can forget about this but I have been using TRELLO for 4 years waiting for this and I am honestly getting discouraged.

Graciela Rincón

Do you realize that they only put SOLVED ANSWERED on responses that defend their interests? HAHAHA, how ironic! TOO POLITEEE
