Trello cards despite having admin permissions (UI read-only bug)

Irena Brajovic

Hello Atlassian Support team,

I’m experiencing an issue with Trello where I’m unable to edit card fields (description, title, checklists, etc.), even though I have full admin permissions.

Here are the details:

• I am a board admin and a workspace member

• Workspace editing is enabled (“Any workspace member can edit and join this board”)

• The board is not read-only and there are no automation rules locking cards

• The issue occurs when opening cards from the board (not only via notifications)

• Input fields appear visually normal, but are not editable (read-only behavior)

Additional context:

• This happens consistently in Safari on macOS

• This looks like a UI state / read-only bug rather than a permissions issue

Could you please confirm whether this is a known issue with Safari and advise on a permanent fix or recommended configuration?

Thank you in advance for your help.

Hi @Irena Brajovic ,

Thanks for sharing the detailed description and context! 🙏

This is most likely related to a browser rather than a permission or config. issue.
Some recommended steps here would be:

• Make sure Safari is updated to the latest version (pretty straightforward one)
• Try disabling all browser extensions and customizations (this is pretty common issue)
• You could try private/incognito window in Safari to check how things behave there
• A recommendation would also be to test editing cards in other browsers

I've checked the public tracker, but couldn't find anything related.

Here's also an article that might help: Troubleshooting browser issues with Trello 👀

If the issue persists, you could follow the instructions here to open a new bug based on your experience. 

By the way, this Community Forum is mainly answered (and monitored) by other community members/Atlassian customers, rather than the official support team. Official support staff can be reached here.

Cheers,
