Hello Trello community,
I'd like to share some feedback on the great and badly needed feature of card colors, and hear what others think.
This feature is pretty much must-have for me. I have a lot of cards of different types, and being able to quickly distinguish them is important for keeping the board organized. Before this update, I used a plugin that used label color to fill the entire card.
Unfortunately, due to some UX issues with the new card-color feature, I still use that plugin. Here's why:
- To set a card color using the labels plugin, all I have to do is press "L" and then choosing a color.
- To use card color, I have to open the card (not even quick edit), then click "cover", then choose the color I want, and then select the "full card" as opposed to "top row" which is the default and cannot be changed.
- That's 4 clicks instead of 1. And some of these actions take a second to load (like opening the card). Since this is something I do for every single card, it takes significantly longer.
What would help improve the workflow:
- Let me set per board if I want full-card colors or top-row only, as a default.
- Add a keyboard shortcut to open the cover UI directly from the board without having to open the card, just like "L" to open labels.
Thanks for listening!
