Card Mirroring to Change Date

Question

Hi all--

I used this article to set up a cascade so that when I add an item to 'Milestone' list it auto copies the card and adds It to the 'Cascade/Card...' List, and links the two together. What I'm trying to figure out is how to have the due date changes on the original card ('milestone' list) updated in the copied card.

I'm testing this in one board, but the ultimate plan is to have milestones roll from several boards into a central place for high-level oversight. Thanks!

Hi @Rachael Woodward 
Sorry, what I told you last night was wrong...I was very tired and was talking nonsense...

There is a limitation in the Trello automation that means you can't directly sync a due date from 1 card to another with a single step.

However, I have just this second released an article describing how you can do this.  Its semi-advanced but I hope I have written it in a way you can follow.

Thank you, Mike! I'm having trouble finding this part "

set the due date to "{sourcecardduedate}"

Not seeing that automation as an option-- I see it as 'on the date in custom field ___' but not the due date field itself. Mind showing me where that is?
