@Alyssa Pazornick you can use a custom field variable to achieve this. So let's say you have a custom field called "Client Company" and when you copy a card, you'd like to prefix the copy's name with the value in that custom field. Your rule would be: when a card moves into list "Closed", copy the card to the "Clients"…

@Richelle Thorpe butler automation doesn't have the option to create new boards, but I've seen Zapier used to achieve a similar workflow. Something like: "when a certain label is added to a card, then copy template board, etc."

@Joel Kennedy welcome to the community :) you could use butler automation to automate some actions across cards, but it won't give you a true two-way sync. If you want a reliable option, you'd need to use a paid solution like Unito. However, here's an example of using butler to link cards and automate due date changes:

@John Chambers The first rule should be pretty straightforward: when a due date is set on a card without a due date, copy the card to the top of list "To Do" on board "Milestones" and link the cards together (note the filter "on a card without a due date") For the second rule, you need to use a variable seeing as the date…

@Sebastian Duda it is possible to calculate the number of days, weeks, etc. between two dates in Trello, but it is a bit complex. You'll need to convert the dates to epoch so they become numerical fields. Here's an example: when a card is added to list "Completed", set date custom field "Completion Date" to now, set custom…

@Rue Walker are you able to share a screenshot of your rule and a screenshot of the command logs?

Hi @KRMK平野 have a look here: https://developer.atlassian.com/cloud/trello/guides/rest-api/limits/ Open cards: 5000 Total cards (including archived): 2000000 That's a lot of cards, so just note that you'll run into some performance issues way before hitting those limits. Typically, having around 1000 open cards on a board…

@Ari have a look into the cascade option in butler if you're looking to affect many cards https://support.atlassian.com/trello/docs/finding-or-looking-up-cards-butler-advanced-topic/ Without knowing your workflow, potentially something like the below could work: when a card with a name starting with "Tasks To Do" is added…

@Isabel Chalona printing the card as a pdf is basically just going to show you a screenshot of the card. If you need all data in the card, you'd need to export it to a csv or spreadsheet. What's the need for printing out the card? To answer your other question, the field type is a single-line text field. There's no option…

@Jason Martin I think ordered alphabetically by card name. Then under each card name is the list of checklists ordered alphabetically as well. Is there a checklist that you're using frequently? You could look at creating template cards and name them in a way so they appear at the top of the list. Are there patterns that…

@Tomsic Trello's native reporting features are reasonably limited for the moment. The only reporting option is Dashboards which is available on the Premium plan. It will just work on a single-board basis: https://trello.com/views/dashboard If you need more than that, there are quite a few power-ups that give you more…

@kuraya_s it is possible to automatically set/move due dates on cards as well as checklists items using rules. Can you explain your workflow in detail so we can provide some possible solutions?

@Matt Butler you'll need to add a filter to your first rule "when a card not in list "Shopping list" is added to the board..." Just select the little funnel icon to filter out the specific list:

@Carol Brindley The plans are applied at the workspace level, not the user level. So all workspace members would be charged $10 p/user. It looks like you can change the board settings so that workspace members cannot join or edit the board. This seems possible on the free/standard plan, so no need to go to premium.

@Rue Walker does the command log give you any clue as to why it didn't trigger? You can access the logs here:

You're welcome! If you feel like the question was answered, feel free to hit "Accept Answer" 😊

@Sebastian Duda I'm not sure I fully understand, are you wanting to input a date in the past somewhere and calculate how much time has passed since that date in weeks? Where is this date being hosted?

Let's say you have a custom date field called "Delivery Date". The below should work:when custom field "Custom date" is set, post comment "Custom date has been set to {{%Delivery Date}~DD/MM/YYYY - hh:mm}" You need to make sure the custom field is spelled exactly the same (it is case-sensitive). 

@ale zan can you give a bit more context into what you're trying to achieve? Are you wanting to use Trello for daily time tracking? Do you need historic reports of each day, or just a dynamic card that shows you the sum of the current day? You can use custom field arithmetic to calculate sums of custom field values, but…

Yep, sounds like you're syncing the boards with Unito. Unito support can help you, or I could try to help here (I do offer Unito consulting alongside Trello). It sounds like you haven't mapped this custom field in your field mappings. Unito doesn't automatically map new fields in your boards, seeing as it's not always the…

@Anna Williamson If you want to have lists: Today Tomorrow This Week Next Week when a due date less than 1 days from now is set on a card, move the card to the top of list "Today" when a due date between 0 and 1 days from now is set on a card not due today, move the card to the top of list "Tomorrow" when a due date in…

@Funpark22 do you have any sort of automation that adds information to newly created cards (e.g. labels, members, etc.)? It's not possible to add labels for example to a separator card, so if butler is automatically adding a label to all new cards, then it will just convert your separator card into a regular card. If…

@Matt Juric how are you linking the two boards together? Are you just copying the cards manually or using Butler to copy them automatically? If I copy a card from one board to another, the custom field and the value follow through with the card. This is what I'm doing: Board A and board B have a custom field called "Name"…

@Alexander McClure welcome to the community! I don't get the same result; the modal appears as expected for me. Can you try using a different browser, or an incognito browser? Maybe your cache/cookies need clearing, or it could be a chrome extension that's getting in the way.

@Ryan Smith it looks like you've created a card button to trigger the automation? The {customfieldvalue} variable only works when the trigger contains something like "when custom field xx is set to yy". Did you try the rule that I posted in the comment above? I used LICEcap to create the GIF :) Also, I do Trello…

@Rue Walker if you try set a time in your rule, the automation should trigger at that exact time. Let me know if that works.

@Jen Winter of course, there are a few Trello experts in the community, including me! I offer both Trello consulting and training (https://www.simplaworkflows.com). You're welcome to book a time in my calendar here. 

You're very welcome! 😊

You're welcome! 😊

@erikvegeto it looks like you're in the mobile app. The high majority of power-ups do not have a mobile version, so what you're seeing there are the power-ups that are compatible with mobile.
