Button to move cards from specific lists based on start/due date

John Dunlea

I am trying (unsuccessfully) to create an automation button that moves all cards with a start date of today from specific lists, to another list. 

 

For example, lets say I have 4 lists as follows:

 

1. BACKLOG
2. ON DECK
3. IN PROGRESS
4. DONE

 

Every card on the board has a start date and a due date. 

 

I want an automation button that moves all cards with a start date of "TODAY" AND which are on the "BACKLOG" and "ON DECK" lists, to the list named "IN PROGRESS". Note that it is important that this automation should only move cards which are on the "BACKLOG" and "IN PROGRESS" list and NOT move any cards which are already in the "DONE" list. 

 

For example, I would want the automation logic to look something like this:

Move each card from the lists "BACKLOG" and "ON DECK";

AND which have a start date of "TODAY";

to the list named "IN PROGRESS"

 

Is this possible? I have been unable to accomplish this successfully. 

 

Note that I have been able to successfully build an automation button which will move cards from ONE list, and which have a start date of "TODAY", to another list. However I cannot seem to expand this automation to move cards from MULTIPLE lists with the same start date criteria. 

 

For example, I my working automation is something like as follows:

Move each card from the list "BACKLOG";

AND which has a start date of "TODAY";

to the list named "IN PROGRESS"

 

However, I cannot expand this automation to include multiple lists on the first line. 

 

Hopefully someone has a tip that help me accomplish this. Thanks!

@John Dunlea you should be able to achieve this using a regular expression:

Move each card from the list "regex:/.*(BACKLOG|ON DECK)"
