Global custom fields in Trello

Question

Hello,

Is there a way to have a custom field available on all boards?
If not, could you please suggest a way to synchronize custom fields across different boards?

A bit of context.
At our web agency we have a board for each department: dev, graphics, content and so on.
Each board has a dropdown custom field with our clients names.
Each time a new client arrives or a client leaves, we have to update the custom field on all boards, which is an error-prone process.
It would be preferable to have the custom field available on all boards.

Thank you very much for your attention :-)

Best wishes,
Guido

Thank you for the suggestion @mriffault.

I will use the API, as it seems there is no way to synch custom fields in the web interface.

I will report back to this thread if I am successful.

Thank you and have a nice day,
Guido

Hi @coccoinomane

If you are working on a web agency, I think you could find somebody to develop a little web app to interact with your boards using the Trello API. The API offer several ressources to read and write Custom Fields.
