Moving Cards to another list and back

Question

When I give my cards a label they are supposed to be moved to another list. If I remove the above label from the cards, I would like the card to be returned to their Original List. I've tried using "advanced" rules, but I don't want to create 100 different rules for each list.

Can you please help me with this? Can cards get an "original List" where they belong to or something like that?

Hi Adrian. I don't think you did find an answer to your problem. Why make the name the cards with the same lists they belong to? How would you identify it moving forward if all cards are of the same name? Or am I missing something? Also it i tried using your suggestion but it did not go back to its "original" list after removing the label.

Thanks for your help, but i've already figured out how to handle my case...

I gave my cards a label without a color, named them like the lists they belong to.

The rule is now: "when the blue "XXX" label is added to a card with the "XYZ" label, move the card to the top of list "XYZ"

I have used this with a client to process some documents in Zapier then move it back to the original list

when a card with the red label is moved into list "Done", remove the red label from the card, and move the card to the top of list "{triggercardpreviouslistname}"

PS The name of the list that the trigger card comes from.
Note: This variable is only available when the command trigger involves the movement of a card to a new list.
