When Merging Cards, Which takes precedence????

Laurie Pepper

When I merge cards —- which is a wonderful option now — Usually the "wrong" card is the headliner with the "right" card attached below. How can I choose which card goes inside of which??? In the image, I want the MIGRATE card to be the main one. It has a giant checklist on it.

Hi @Laurie Pepper,

Welcome to the Atlassian community!

I have personally stopped using the multi-select for this one and control it with the drag direction instead. The card you drop onto is the one that survives as the headliner, and the card you drag is the one that gets folded into it. If you used Shift (Mac) or Ctrl (Windows) plus right-click > Merge cards, I found no documented way to specify which of the selected cards wins.

One thing I saw with checklists: Merge runs on AI, so it rebuilds a checklist from each original card's content rather than moving the existing checklist over untouched.

Servus, Martin
