Hi Cindy, I hope you are well. Trello is not the best database in the world. Its not really designed to be one but that doesn't mean it can't be. I have build some functionality in Trello to allow it to be used as a database. I have a Clients board which has all of my clients, in alphabetical lists. Custom fields include…

Hi Philippe, Welcome. I saw your message and wanted to share my thoughts. Remember Trello is a very versatile and open platform, it is one of its biggest strengths compared to the competition. With that said, my view on the advanced checklists is that Trello implemented them as a reaction to the competition but they are…

You need to change the last part of the automation to: Set custom field Project Engineer to {customfieldvalue}

Its a little bit crude but you can do this: Custom Field 1 = Mileage Custom Field 2 = Mileage Alert Automation 1 when custom field "Current Mileage" is set, set custom field "Mileage Alert" to "({customfieldvalue} - {customfieldvaluebefore}) + {{%Mileage Alert}}" Automation 2 when custom field "Mileage Alert" is set to a…

You can do it by a scheduled automation... every day, sort the cards in list "Test" by start date ascending You can also use a rule triggered by: when a card is added to a list, sort the cards in list {listname} by start date ascending Or you can make it into a board button that you can click

You could even use emoji's if you like, ⚽ ⭐ 🏆

Okay, based on that, and given that those attributes wouldn't be multi-select (I guess you can't be Good and Bad at the same time), you could use dropdown custom fields... Then, use a brilliant little power-up from Tinypowerupsclub called table view... https://tinypowerups.com/

Okay, in that case it may be something to do with your specific account. I do know that Trello sometimes release updates limited to a certain number of accounts and I have seen something affect one of my clients regarding smartlink features they were working on, it broke the links of linked checklist items so not too…

Okay, now it is looking to me that it could be either browser related or something related to your Trello account... 1st thing to rule out, your browser... Please open an Incognito window (Private browsing) in your browser and log into Trello. Do you see the same problem?

As discussed, custom fields could work and I would recommend looking at the advanced capabilities of Amazing fields, which are also far more configurable and visually more appealing than Trello custom fields (Please Trello tell me you're working on Custom fields 2.0??? 🙏) However for this instance, I think the…

an automation could fix this... Let me know if you're interested to here how...

That will be for 1 of 2 reasons... * There is already content on the card back (when you open it), description or attachment maybe... * The card title as a link is not properly formed, check for unwanted spaces etc..

You could do something with 2 rules... Rule 1 "when the description of a card contains {*}, post comment "@{username} has changed the description of this card" Rule 2 "when a comment containing "regex:/(?!.*?@gabrielmaung has changed the description of this card)^.*$/", send an email notification to "user@company.com" with…

I'm sure Trello were working on native mirroring about 2 years ago.... @Chris Taylor I think for what you are wanting, it can be done by linking cards via automation.

Looking at the image on the left. Those are just Trello cards, if they were links the address would be a link. Try clicking on the pen and select "Convert to link card"

@Fabio Just double check you don't have this in your command... If you are using either card move or copy, it should copy all of the card contents, description, labels, custom fields and comments

Hi @Janmi Perera I am a Trello obsessive but also an independent consultant for business software solutions so I do have experience using pretty much every productivity tool out there. I'll start with MSPlanner....Don't even waste your time. I don't think Microsoft know what they want it to be. Asana, monday.com, ClickUp…

You can use the rule: when a card with custom field "Month" set is added to list "Dones", move the card to the top of list "{{%Month}}" on board "Dones"

@T_G_ You could start your lists with a number 1,2,3... and use automation to run a scheduled command: everyday at 6:00 am, sort the lists on this board by title

Can you share a screenshot?

Okay, one solution would be to create a "New list" board button. Setup Have a list called "Templates" Put your template cards in this list Automation Button "Create a new list named "New" and copy all cards in list Templates to {listname} Let me know if that helps, if not I'll go again 

If you only have 1 checklist in your template card, you can also put "add the {*} checklist from the card... I would also suggest keeping in the card part because you want to be sure you pull the checklist from the template and not another card that has the template that has been modified

Hi Meg, You could definitely benefit from this... Tiny Powerups - Table View @Adam Cao can help with any questions but definitely give it a go

Or this is a better option 🤣 Tinypowerups subscription is an absolute bargain and you'll find yourself using more tiny powerups than you thought you would. 🙂

How do you use the labels? In my opinion, the real strength of the labels is when filtering so if you don't want to filter by it, change it to a custom field. That way you can cut down your labels to a manageable amount. One example, from above... Instead of labels, use a priority custom field... This of course assumes you…

Okay, so with automation you cannot create a filter button but how neat would that be if you could??? (I'm looking at you Trello peeps 😉) One neat trick you can do, filters actually have their own address so you can copy the address from the title bar of your browser and paste it into Trello, which will turn into a board…

Hi Emma, Do you have any automations that run on the cards when they are added/moved to a list? If you don't you can use this hack... * Create a list (I call mine Temp) * Setup a rule that says, "When a card is added to list "Temp", rename the card to {cardnumber} {cardname}" and move the card to bottom of list…

Hi @Leena Abu Shmais First question, what rule are you using to create the checklist. If you use the rule, "add the checklist named [checklistname] to the card", it wont duplicate the checklist if the card gets moved back. You could also do something like adding a transparent label (call it "runonce" for example). Then...…

Okay, thanks for the clarification. I understand what you are trying to do and on the surface I don't think it is possible. Can I ask what you are looking to achieve from this?

Love seeing posts like this. Trello is no longer the new kid on the block or the coolest kid in class (that seems to be going to Notion and Airtable these days) but longevity is so much better than 15 minutes of fame... Trello has been around for so long because it has stayed true to its core and quite honestly there is…
