In Trello, is there a way to convert a card to a checklist item of another card?

I see there is an easy way to convert a checklist item to a card, but I have multiple occasions where I would like to convert  current card to an item in a checklist on an existing card.  Is this possible?  If not, is this feature in the current backlog? (I'd like to up-vote it)

Hey @Jessica Witt,

Unfortunately not. However, since you can create multiple checklist items in one go by pasting multiple lines into the add checklist item field, all you really need is a list of card names to copy from.

One (kinda technical) option is that you can export your whole board to a JSON file (click share + more under actions to find that option) and then print a list of all card names fairly easily like this:

perl -MJSON -l -0 -e 'print $_->{name} for (@{decode_json(<STDIN>)->{cards}})' < board.json

This only works if your cards are one-liners because it won't print any attachments like descriptions or checklists.

If you have a premium license, there is also the option to export your cards to a .CSV to easily copy/paste into a checklist  

Good luck!
