  • @Daniel_Victoria when you forward an email into Trello you can include a "#" symbol to add a label to the card, then you can filter your board according to those labels. When you choose multiple labels it is an "OR" filter so you will see any card with any of those labels applied... this seems like what you want. Once you…
  • @Ian Campbell are they not adding comments to each essay card?
  • @Max Bberg Oh sorry, I totally missed the "on iOS" part -- all my suggestions are web/desktop only :( Sorry! I don't think there's anything that can change this on iOS
  • @Max Bberg there are Chrome extensions that stack lists instead of having them scroll, this is an example: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/list-layouts-for-trello/aldklnbenbdgfgfbflalmlddkkndgnlc You can also create a new list on the desktop/web app version by double clicking on the background of the board, and…
  • @Brian Carnell my guess is because the ability to attach cards/boards and have them show up as neat little graphics is much newer than the other types of attachments. That's a great feature to add, though, you can request it here: https://help.trello.com/article/724-submitting-feature-requests-for-trello
  • @[deleted] I answered this same question yesterday with some API automation code to do something like this by unarchiving cards archived by people who are not admins of the board, however one of the moderators deleted my post. I have emailed the community manager to find out why, before I answer this question only to have…
  • @Kali McCullough Instead of using a card for your daily journal/log, I would use a list for Daily Journal, then have a card for each thing you want to track. So you have a card called "Water" and every time you drink some water, just add a comment with how much. Comments automatically log the date/time you record them, so…
  • @Kim Clark hey there, I developed a framework called Trellinator that allows developers to create powerful automations for Trello using Google Apps Script: https://trello.com/integrations/#trellinator It's free and open source, so you can either find your own developer on Upwork or similar, or you can use the link in my…
  • @Michael Kummer have you tried doing it in 2 batches? I know that you can't create more than 100 card at once, potentially you have just over 100 cards OR when it actually goes to create the cards there's a funny character in there that results in more than 100 being created even if it appears at first that it will create…
  • @Mariah V you can do this in a way using the API, by unarchiving any card that someone archives who isn't an admin. This won't protect against malicious behaviour, though, because they can archive and delete faster than anything connected to the API can react. But for protecting against accidental or inadvertent archiving…
  • @Todd Miles if you're receiving input lag due to a hardware driver problem on a specific monitor then it would show up in all applications, not just Trello. It seems implausible that you could get an input lag on only one application by switching monitors but computers are pretty implausible things :) Have you tried other…
  • @Eva Berrios oops I meant to tag you in the above comment :)
  • @Jodi LeBlanc I think Jodi's suggestion of copying the board then moving lists off the copy is a good plan to preserve history, note that in your new board you could create a card and link it to your historical board, here's a blog post about linking boards to cards: https://blog.trello.com/related-cards-related-boards
  • @Dan Collins did you see the integration Beta? https://www.reddit.com/r/trello/comments/atcn2g/butler_integration_beta/
  • @William Ferrell whenever a list is archived or unarchived it will show up in the board activity menu, and you can also see what apps have access to your account in your settings -> apps section. Beyond that ... :S seems pretty weird. Are you able to reproduce on any other boards? 
  • @Charisma Riley do you mean label colours? No there's no way to extend the number of colours that you can assign to labels.
  • @William Ferrell the only way I could replicate this is by: 1) Creating a list "tmp" 2) Adding a card to it 3) Opening the card 4) Going to a different tab 5) Archive the list 6) Go to the archive, switch to lists and unarchive the list again After doing that, there was no notice at the top of the card saying "this card is…
  • @Свиридов Георгий I created an integration for Trello called Benko Board: https://trello.com/integrations/#benkoboard In addition to allowing you to use Trello as a Gmail client, it also unsubscribes you from every card you're added to (ie. automatically "unwatches" every card when you're added to it as a member). This…
  • @jdegiova_wavestone Trello will only send email notifications to your primary address, and they're grouped in an inconsistent way in emails so that you can't easily isolate notifications for a given board, by board or email. I created an integration called Benko Board that, in addition to allowing you to use Trello as a…
  • @Dean Morgan I see the discrepancy. I opened it initially on iOS which shows the custom fields on all cards, even though they're not editable. If you open it on Desktop (app or web) you will not see the custom fields on the cards that don't have the values set because you're not a member of the board and can't edit them.…
  • @Dean Morgan I opened the link to a Trello board and all the cards I looked at had the same custom fields (granted I didn't do an exhaustive search) 
  • @Dean Morgan What you might me noticing is that custom fields only show on the front of the card when a value is set on them and some fields can be set to not show on the front of the card at all 
  • @David Pollard basically the message is "recreate your commands as power up commands, if you need help, email us". I'm not sure if the butler support email is still the same following acquisition but you can ask support@trello.com if that's the case. More reading:…
  • @David Pollard to your first point, note that butlerbot is being phased out, so you should try and implement only commands using the power up. However at any rate I don't think you can use time in list as a filter like that, you'd have to do something like: for each card in list "Completed" if {carddaysinlist} is more than…
  • @Mike Lewis Okay so the primary problem is that you don't want someone to be able to inadvertently (not maliciously) trigger this flow of events by dragging a card into one list. If you're already a Butler user, you could do something like: when a card is moved into list "Special Trigger List" by @adminusername or…
  • @Mike Lewis the most "locked down" you can make a board is to: 1) Set the board to be team viewable 2) Add people to the team, but not the board 3) Enable comments from the team Now they can add comments that can trigger all the workflow movements, but they can't edit anything else about the cards or the lists on the…
  • @Terri Kempthorne I see :) Well, if you're clearing out a list and want to avoid accidentally archiving the entire list, you could mouse over the top card and hold down the "c" key which will archive even hundreds of cards in a matter of seconds. Otherwise you could just archive the list and create another list called…
  • @Rob Schaerer you'd be surprised how many notifications Trello sends and if you're using PropertiesService for fetching credentials + a few other variables you run out even at 500,000. However, it does strike as possible that the best bet is to combine the 2 options and cache the values in PropertiesService but then cache…
  • @Nawida R. I've never been aware of that page before, but I think maybe this is a vestige of the old notifications system. They revamped notifications recently, It think that when you clicked to load see all notifications it used to load that URL in a popup, but the notification drawer is now much smoother and you can view…
  • @Terri Kempthorne not really but you can unarchive it by going to archived items and choosing "switch to lists". Again, Butler would be able to automatically unarchive the Done list every time it's archived: When a list named "Done" is archived unarchive the list and the corresponding Trellinator code is:…
