That's true. Another alternative would be to use a power-up that offers true mirroring like Unito

Hi Simon! Trello doesn't natively have the option to view multiple boards in one timeline view. However, Unito will achieve this using a master board, and then viewing the timeline in the master board. An alternative is to use a power-up like Placker or Team Gantt and use their timeline view.

How about something like this with card covers?

Hi Simon! Actually both power ups are paid ones. Unito is a different entity to Trello, so it has its own pricing. It is a bonus power up though, so that means if you're on a free Trello plan, adding the power up to your board won't count towards your total number of power up spaces. Lastly, if you're looking to build a…

It should be possible using variables and the cascade option in Butler. First, create a card that's going to host all checkitems and create a checklist in the card. Then setup a rule that looks something like this:

Hi Gina! I'd be happy to see how I can help. I'm a Workflow Consultant that specializes in tools like Trello, along with automation and integrations. Our primary goal is to help facilitate communication, productivity, and transparency by designing and building workflows within your preferred work management tool. It'd be…

You're welcome! Have a look at power-ups that offer Gantt chart views like Team Gantt or Placker. It'll most likely be power-ups that revolve around adding different dates/durations to cards

Hi Alexander! From what I understand, the "performer" of Butler actions would be the person who created the rule. An idea would be to create a Trello account called "Butler Sync Bot" and create all your butler rules with that user. When setting the trigger, you can say "when a member is added to a card by anyone except…

Hi Jacki! Would it just need to be a "one-off" copy and paste of one card to many boards? Or would you need it to be an ongoing sync (i.e. if the original card gets updated in some way, that update syncs to the other cards)? Also, how many client boards are you working with? 

For the moment, you can change the order of custom fields, but you can't move around the different components of the card. It's likely the custom date field that was showing near the top of the card was generated by a power up. You might be able to see all the different power ups that were once enabled in your Trello…

Great - glad that's working! Just a note with lists filters; you need to include ALL the lists you want to stay in sync with the other board. So if you just included one list in the rules, when it moves out of that particular list, it will no long sync with the other board.

Hi Oliver! There are probably different ways to achieve this, but here's what I came up with: https://www.loom.com/share/eb39effe10f6428fb62daec652a1779f I linked the cards together so that way you could create cascading rules in Butler so if one card changes, it can affect the other cards if you want that. 

I would recommend creating a "template list" somewhere on the board (maybe the far left). In this template list, you would have all the cards that you need in order to complete a project. In each card, you can add descriptions, labels, custom fields, etc. (whatever information is necessary to do that particular thing).…

Maybe I'm misinterpreting the question, but I think that trigger would do what you want? For example, I want a card to be created in the "To do" list about 24 hours before a custom field is due. In your case, you would switch out "hours" with "days", so that way the card is created X days before the custom due date. You…

Not a native feature of Trello yet, but it can be achieved with 3rd parties like Planyway as mentioned above, or another alternative is to use Unito's board sync power up to build a master board that consolidates cards from many boards into one. From there, you can use Trello's native calendar view in the master board.

How do you foresee it looking on the calendar view? The same card duplicated many times? How about using a checklist for the individual deliverables that have due dates? From there, you can assign a due date to each check-item, and you'll be able to see both the main card and the check-items on the calendar view

You're welcome! That makes sense - I agree it doesn't look like you're able to add a variable in the list option. Not too sure about not being able to pick a list position greater than 10. Seems strange. I would reach out to support@trello.com to see if this is expected.

Looks as though you can create it in theory, but haven't tested it out. However, I'm not able to pick a list position greater than 10 for some reason. Do you see the option for position 11?

Hi Mark! Yes, you would need to create a filter rule on the master board side to determine what cards should sync. Are you able to share a screenshot of the "Rules" page of your Unito flow? 

If you were wanting to sync more card information, and updates to cards (like changing a date, description, adding comments, etc.), I would recommend using a tool like Unito to achieve your workflow (as mentioned above).

Yes, it's possible using Butler. It would look something like: when a card is moved into list "done", find a card titled "{cardname}" on board "B", and archive the card

Hello! Am I correct in assuming you have another board with these 3 lists, and other lists as well mixed in this board? So the goal here would be to have a secondary board which is the one you'd have on the monitor, and you'd only want the 3 lists to be mirrored on this board. When the names/cards move from one list to…

No native way to view multiple boards in a master calendar currently. A couple alternatives using 3rd parties: 1. Create master board using Unito to consolidate many boards into one, and then use Trello's native calendar view in the master board. 2. Use the Cronofy or Planyway power up. They have options to view one board…

Most power ups are 3rd party apps and are a completely different entity to Trello, each with their own pricing and plans. Some offer freemium plans, and some only have paid plans (which is the case for Unito's Mirror power up). Business class means you can have more than one power up on your board, but it doesn't mean all…

@[deleted] not sure if a consolidated timeline view is on Trello's roadmap, but another way to achieve this is by using 3rd party power ups. There are multiple project management power-ups that give you Gantt chart views of a board, as well as many boards. TeamGantt and Placker are ones to look into, and there are probably…

@Shoji Orihara there are different solutions to build a workflow like this depending on your needs. You could build this using the Butler automation to copy cards from one board to another. With Butler, there is no mirroring functionality, so if you need updates to sync back and forth between boards, this won't be a viable…

When authorizing a new Jira account in Butler, it doesn't give you the option to connect a server account, so it makes me think they don't support it. I'd reach out to support@trello.com to check. If they don't support it, Unito might be a good alternative depending on your use…

Are you wanting to create a third board to consolidate both boards into? Or just have the two boards connected with one another? In both cases, Unito can achieve this for you. Happy to help if you have any questions 😊

Is your Jira server locked down and inaccessible from the internet?

You're welcome, Axel! Wishing you all the best with your decision :)
