Copying entire lists of cards via automation

Question

Hey Team,

Embarrassingly simple question here: I can't figure out how to copy all cards in a list to another list within the same board with a due date trigger.

I'm in live events and I'd like to be able to set a date for a show on a single card and then have all of the open cards in our various production stage lists be automatically assigned x days before the show.

Most of the guides I've found online say its possible but have a different UI and options than I am offered - Currently using the free tier while we figure out if Trello is right for our team so am I hitting up against a paywalled feature or something? I've already hit the "advanced" toggle and found the tools to filter for specific cards. I just can't find any list operations beyond "sorting"

Thanks for your help,

Ok, so if I understand correctly, doing this will only change the due date of the specific card I've moved to a new list. That isn't helpful.

What I'd like to do is:
Assign a due date to 1 card.
When it is a week before this due date, ALL of the cards on the "Show Week" list are moved to the "Active Tasks" list

Yep - looking for an automated solution.

I'd like to set a date on a specific card and then have it be the trigger to move an entire list of cards into my "active tasks" list 7 days before the due date I set.

* Open your Trello board.

* Click on “Automation” in the top menu (or the robot icon).

* Go to Rules tab and click “Create Rule”.

* Set the Trigger:

* Choose: “when a card is added to list [Your List Name]”

(Pick the specific list where the action should happen.)

* Add an Action:

* Select “Set due date”

* Choose a time relative to the trigger, e.g.:

* “in 1 day”

* “on the same day at 5:00 PM”

* “in 3 working days”

* Click Save.
