Advanced Checklist Automation?

John Cole_ucxtsp

We use Trello daily for our Focus Room and Top Actions.  We also use it for new hires, and we manage their first 90 days with checklists of actions to get accomplished.  I'm looking for a way to create a list (Excel seems like the easiest) of actions, dates and members then dump those into a checklist and have it create the individual items in the list.

I can do this for checklists without dates and assigned members, but I need to do this with the dates.  The issue is we have 30-40 actions.  They start on day 1 of the new hire onboarding, and I would prefer not to have to go item by item to add dates and owners.  Is this possible?  I can't find anything to help.

I have worked with advanced checklist in several projects. The most recently is MirrorSync that supports advanced checklist.

I cannot recall a power up or services that does it. It is definitely achievable with code. Creating it on a existing card would be more challenging vs create a new card with the checklist.

One of the requirements is to ensure there is a proper translation of the assigned member to the idMember and a properly structured date.

I will insert here a service I built to created new cards with existing custom fields. The same concept can be applied to creating a checklist.

I have another project that turned numbered list into a checklist via an email. I would imagine that it can be enhanced to inspect each item for @username %date before creating the checklist on the card.
