Why does Trello's "Add Trello Card" shortcut action change the shortcut script when it runs on iOS?

Question

Has anybody else seen this weirdness when using Trello in a shortcut on MacOS/iOS?

What weirdness, you ask?    Probably a bug, ah well, read on dear listener ...

I have an Apple shortcut that iterates a list of reminders in Apple's Reminders app using the Find Reminders action.  The filters on the Find Reminders action include a list name and Is Not Completed and Is Not Flagged conditions.

A Repeat With Each based loop then processes the returned reminders.   For each reminder, the loop calls Trello's Add Trello Card action to add a card to a board/list.

Running the shortcut on my Mac works as expected, cards are added to the Trello list.

Running the shortcut on my iPhone also adds cards to the Trello list, but it also causes the shortcut itself to change -- the Is Not Completed and Is Not Flagged mysteriously change to Is Completed and Is Flagged.

This only occurs when that Add Trello Card action is present in the script. It's as though the Add Trello Card action is editing the shortcut's script.   This should not happen.

p.s.  M1 MacBook Pro w. MacOS 14.6.1    iPhone 11 w. iOS 18.2

p.p.s. This is presumably a bug that whoever implemented the shortcut support would be interested in ... is there a bug reporting mechanism somewhere or do we just assume that this forum is monitored for this sort of thing?

I tested it on an iPhone XR running iOS 18.1.1 and updated it to iOS 18.2 (I still couldn't reproduce it). I also want to mention that I created the shortcut directly on the iPhone rather than a MacBook. This might be a sync issue between the devices.

Thanks for trying Carolina.    Can you tell me your iOS and hardware versions so I can include that information in my report.

Hi @goodwithgit, welcome to the Atlassian Community!

I’ve created a similar shortcut on my iPhone for testing, but I couldn’t replicate the issue. Since these shortcuts aren't managed by Trello, I recommend reaching out to Apple Support for assistance with this issue.
