Transfering Custom Field data across boards using Labels

Matt Juric

I have a custom field that will be assigned in one board. That card is then linked to another board using labels.

The custom field seems to come across with the card but the data that was entered into the field on the original board does not come across. Do I need to create additional automation to link the data in the cards so they match on both boards?

Thank You

@Matt Juric how are you linking the two boards together? Are you just copying the cards manually or using Butler to copy them automatically? 

If I copy a card from one board to another, the custom field and the value follow through with the card. This is what I'm doing:

Board A and board B have a custom field called "Name" which is a text field (note: you would get the same result if Board B did not have the custom field).

1. Create card on board A
2. Input "Hannah" into the custom field "Name"
3. Copy card to board B

Result: Card is successfully copied to board b and the "Name" custom field is populated with "Hannah" on the copied card.
