Relative due dates for checklist

Jairo Levi

I have some projects, for which I create a card with a "due date."

Each card has the same checklist:

- Do A

- Do B

- Do C

Is it possible to automate:

- Do A (due date in 2 days, assign to me)
- Do B (due date 3 months before the card "due date", assign to me)

- Do C (due date 1 month before the card "due date", assign to me)


I have been googling and checking the community, and I have not been able to find it.

Thank you,

Jairo.

So. This solution assumes that you can just sequentially create a checklist item, then immediately assign it a member/duedate, and Trello won't be confused on which checklist item you're referring to... Can't check as don't have Premium currently activated..

But, assuming that the above works. And that the checklist contents is the same every time. Then you can just embed the checklist items in to the automation itself. It does however require a custom field to temporarily store the card's due date, as you can access them when setting a due date, but not the card's actual due date for some reason.

remove the "TODO" checklist from the card, add item "Do A" to checklist "TODO", set the item due in 2 days, assign the item to me, set custom field "x" to "{cardduedate}", add item "Do B" to checklist "TODO", assign the item to me, set the item due on the date in custom field "x" minus 3 months, add item "Do C" to checklist "TODO", assign the item to me, and set the item due on the date in custom field "x" minus 1 months

Hit back if it turns out you can't just assign things to checklist items in the way I listed.
