Is there a way to delete multiple things or just something specific from cards that repeat

red_

So basically I have a LOT of cards displaying information of everything in a game, to make it easier for me, I want to remove some of the unnecessary information in those cards, but there's a lot of cards. Is there a way for me to Automate so that specific keywords with in each description can be deleted from cards I select or just all of them in general.

Keywords and maybe GIF files from selected cards

Hi red_,

Just to confirm, you only want to delete a card's description or just keywords of that description, not to delete the card itself? Currently, we don't have that feature that allows that but I'll pass this information along to our relevant team. 

Also for specific triggers using a Trello card description, this only triggers for recent changes in the description after an automation is created. This does not apply to existing cards retro-actively so we won't be able to use this.

What you can do as a workaround is to:

1. use Search Operators to find cards with keywords in their description first:
https://support.atlassian.com/trello/docs/searching-for-cards-all-boards/#Search-operators 

description: - Returns cards matching the text of card descriptions. For example, description:"FIX IT" will return cards with “FIX IT” in a description.

And combine it with these:
board:name - Returns cards within a specific board.
has:attachments - Returns cards with attachments like GIF files.

2. Create a label e.g. delete_description

3. Create automation where if this label is added to a card, replace a card's description. There's no way to clear a card's description so I've added the word _deleted_ as a cue that a description has been deleted. 

4. Open the cards that fit your keywords criteria add add the label "delete_description". This will trigger the automation to replace the card's description to "deleted". 

Please note that there is no undo button to the changes made to the card's description.

This isn't the automated solution you're looking for but hope this helps! Keen to hear how other people in the community can address this differently.
