repeat cards with new due date

希　和音

I've transferred from Asana recently. In Asana, when I set a repeat function, as soon as I complete a task (card), it generates a new due date according to the repeat rule I set. That way, I can always see all the tasks that need to be done on any given day. This helps when I assign new tasks... to not overload with too many tasks on any given day.

I tried the card repeater in Trello, but maybe I am still not getting the full picture of this power-up...

Apparently, it functions totally unrelated to due dates? I found a mention that I need to create a list for repeat cards... But, if the repeat card is created on the day scheduled by the card repeater, I wouldn't know about it until the very day... or I have to click the repeat card to see when it's due next time... which would be kind of ridiculous...

I also use the dashcard power-up to track my tasks across all the boards for today and for the next 7 days, but again, I don't see the repeat cards show up there... naturally because they don't have due dates.

I really like Trello so far, but this is almost detrimental that I cannot have an accurate full picture of everything that needs to be done for the next 7 days or so.

Can someone explain if I am missing something or a way around it? Thanks!

If my understanding is correct, what you want is to change the due date when certain condition is met. Then you can rename card name with an append "New Due Date: {date+7d}" aka make due date 7 days from now.

Set another trigger

when I enter a card name containing a date after "New Due Date:" set due on the date and remove the matched text

Thank you for the response, but I don't think I follow what you are suggesting. How do I trigger (upon the completion of the card) the change to a new due date based on certain conditions on each card basis?

And, why would I rename the card?

Can you clarify? And, I am afraid I need step-by-step instruction for I am very new to Trello (like 3 days).

It depends on what you want. You can indicate a move to "Complete" list as a way to indicate completion, or check off the checkbox next to the due date....etc.

I don't feel you understand what I am getting at... or I don't understand what you mean at all. Let me give you an example.

Let's say, I have a card "adjust delivery date" which should repeat every 2 months.

Assume today was the day, so I adjust the date and check off the card as complete. As soon as I check off the card as complete, I want another card created automatically which is exactly the same but with a new due date that is 2 month down the road. Is there a way to do that?

I want the card to appear right then and there with a new due date in the date field so that it will appear on my calendar.

Please show me how I can do this.

Thank you.
