New Rule for added checklist items

TeFa - Armin Bayer

Hi Folks,

i am trying hard to figure out, how i can create a rule that updates all my already existing Checklist on various cards when i am adding a new Item to this specific Checklist.

For example i have a Checklist named "Important Tasks" on various Cards which contains 5 Items to check. Now i want to add another Item to this Checklist and have this Checklist automatically updated on all Cards that have this Checklist in place.

I hope u all do understand what i am trying to do.

Anyone an brilliant Idea? Thanks for ur help in advance!

Cheers

Hey there,

Welcome to the Atlassian Community! 🙂

There's currently no built-in feature like this, but I’ll pass your interest in this on to our team for consideration! 

With that said, there's also no easy way to accomplish your goal with Automation either, but you can try linking the cards together (either by an Automation rule or manually by adding a card link to another card as an attachment) and then create a rule similar to this one: 

when an item is added to checklist "checklist_title" in a card in list "list_title", for each card linked in the attachments, add item "{checklistitemname}" to checklist "checklist_title"

 

If you're only starting to create your Automation, I'd recommend taking a look at these pages:

• Automation Introduction
• Automation Overview
• Automation Variables

 

Another way would be to add the Checklist item through API using this end point, but that will require some technical knowledge to be performed. 

Last but not least, you may find a third-party Power-Up to help you with this request as well. You can check available Power-Ups at https://trello.com/power-ups/all

Because many of these services are provided by separate companies, outside of Trello, we can't endorse any specific Power-Up or provide any support on how to set them up as we might not have much information on such Power-Ups.

Hope this information helps!
