Auto-Save Function in Trello

Doma Decimator

There have been quite a few times when I wrote up an entire description or comment and moved away without saving, then forgot to go back and save before I closed Trello. 

I know that's probably more of a ME problem than an actual problem with Trello, but I was wondering why exactly the saving system works the way it does. With Evernote, for example, everything autosaves the moment you close it . 

I've seen this question brought up a few times here and there but no real answers were given.

Is this feature difficult to implement, or does nobody else actually need it, or...? 

Just wondering.

Hi Doma,

Loosing that content is definitely frustrating and I agree, an auto-save function for all the fields in Trello would be a neat feature to have. It's something we'd like to see implemented at some point but it isn't on our immediate roadmap, mainly because there's higher priority items that we're currently working on.

In Trello, edits that are being made are often a lot shorter than let's say in a Gdoc or mail where you might be drafting over a longer period of time and doing that in multiple sessions. That makes it a smaller use case for Trello and we don't see requests that frequently. We're definitely tracking interest in this internally though, and I've also let our team know that you'd like to see this feature added to Trello.

Hope that helps!
