Can I copy attachments between cards/lists/boards?

Question

Hello,

I just can't find a solution for copying attachment between cards.

For example If my colleague checks a specific checklist item on his card, we want all the attachments to copy to my card.

I imagined something like this in butler:

when the "Item name" item is checked, find a card with title "Card name" on board "Board name", and copy all the attachments to the found card

Can it be done? It's frustrating filling a pdf form and sending it via email instead of just attaching it to a card and automaticaly copying/moving it when necessary.

Thanks in advance!

@Vongsawat Option #2 using {attachmentlink}, worked perfectly for my scenario. Thank you very much!

You can add an attachment in Butler (its under Add Link) although it strips it of any formatting, showing up as a "LINK" thumbnail with a long url instead of the filename. But what you (usually) don't have is access to a card's attachments. There are some funky workarounds though.

1) In Butler, just copy the entire card, reformat it for your colleague, then send the card over to their board.

2) When you add an attachment, you get access to {attachmentlink}. So you can add that link in to a specific checklist (then Remove Link {attachmentlink} to clean up after yourself). Then on your trigger, For Each Checklist Item > Find Card > Add Link {checklistitemname}

Thank you for your help! I think this will be our workaround until other solution is implemented in Trello.
