"Card Repeater" cards not displaying on Calendar View

Tami Liss

For some reason cards that are set to repeat via the "Card Repeater" power-up aren't displaying on Calendar View.

I don't see this addressed in the power-up's about page, and even when I filter search by label (using a label I know is applied to my repeater cards), they still don't display.

How do I fix this so that all repeat instances of the card are displayed? Or do I actually need to have individual cards created?

Do you mean future instances of the card? They won't show up until they're actually created, so if you create a card and have it set to repeat every day, you'll only see the card for today and then tomorrow it will create a new card, etc.

@Brittany Joiner Is there a way to automate those cards being created in advance? Or a Butlr command that would duplicate a specific card on specific days within a set period of time?

Case example: If I create card A, could Butlr automatically duplicate that card all at once with a specific date parameter, ex. every Tuesday through 2022.

Essentially I need to actually see all repeat instances of the card, either on the board or calendar view, for planning purposes. If this means creating all the repeat instances of the card in advance, that's ok, but it'd be torturous to do it manually (for a whole year's worth of repeats for example...)

@Tami Liss ah interesting. No I don't think there's a way to create all those cards up front automatically. You could look at the Bulk Actions power-up, but i don't see an option to take one card and copy it immediately 52 times with customized due dates throughout the year, which sounds like what you're looking for.

@Brittany Joiner That's....painful to know.

I'm honestly shocked that Trello, a task management program, doesn't have a way to easily duplicate or create cards more than one at a time (and when you "Copy" a card you can't really edit it before it's created, so there's the extra step and Trello lag between copying and editing).

I expected Card Repeater to act like repeat events on most other platforms, Ex. in Google Calendar when you set an event to repeat it simply creates and shows you those repeat events, with the option to edit one instance or all.

Repeating or "creating" it only on the day it was set for means it's essentially only for cards you plan to interact with minimally, since you can't see, edit, or do anything with it until that day.
