Can butler set task duedates based on completeion of another task?

Question

I want to set up timeline due date for tasks within a card based on completion of previous tasks.

For Example Completing task A triggers a time due date to complete task b.

Upon completion of task A a 24 hour clock starts to complete task B.

I would think this is something butler could do but I'm new to Trello and can't seem to figure that out.

thanks for the help.

@Jason R Rasch If you had the next card linked to the previous card, you could do something like:

when a due date is marked complete find the first card linked in the attachments and set due in 24 hours

then you could chain the cards together. You could use a label on the trigger card to choose which offset to use on the next card. For example if you had a label "24 hours" on the trigger card, then you could have the command something like:

when a due date is marked complete on a card with label "24 hours" find the first card linked in the attachments and set due in 24 hours

That way you can have multiple rules for different offsets.

You cannot use a due date of a card to set a due date in another card.

In your case, you are not using the due date but the “now” and you should be able to do a “set due date in 24 hours”
