Moving cards with custom fields to another board seems to lose the custom fields?

Steve Rumsby

I use the custom fields power-up on my boards, and occasionally move cards from one board to another. In the move the custom field values disappear, even if the target board has the same fields defined in te same way. Is there a way I'm missing to make this work?

Thanks,
Steve.

Sorry, the custom fields are currently only available on a per-board basis.

"Currently"? Does that mean there are plans to change this? It would make multi-board set-ups much more useful. Losing information when you move cards between boards is more than a little annoying :-)

I just experienced the same thing, and the same frustration. This is a necessary feature.

I was able to move my cards back to the original board, and the Custom Fields recovered. So the information must still be present in the card (even though it was not visible in the second board).

Knowing that the information is still there gives some urgency to Steve's question about plans to change this behavior. Is this something expected to be available? When? I might be able to live with the Custom Field information being invisible for a little while (if I know how long that will be, and that the information will be visible again).

Same here, This is a bit annoying but also very danger, if you not realize you can lose very important information.

I have a Boar with a lot of Cards I can not move to another Board because I will lose this information

I found a way

I have a card with custom field "expense". If you set the customf field to N/A then copy/move to other board without custom field. So i set an automation:

When i set custom field to "move", move the card to the "trash" list (same board), clear custom field "expense", clear custom field "move" then move the card to [list or board you want]
