Adding a Separator Line in Checklist?

PJRanson March 1, 2025

I'm pretty sure it's possible - I thought I'd seen it somewhere - but I can't seem to get it to work?

In a checklist - within a card - I'd quite like to be able to separate out steps in a checklist, by placing a separator. Like you can in in Lists i.e. typing "---" and a separator line appears. Only in a checklist it places the divider/separtor in to the checklist (without check box)

Is it a thing or have I been mistaken?

To get similar behaviour/functionlity I've been inputting the following;

 

``.           ---            .`` 

 

which sort of provides a 'break' in the checklist, but it's crude and I'd like a more elegant solution.

TIA

Hello, Pj

Welcome to the community

In Trello, there isn't a built-in feature that allows you to add a visual separator in checklists like you can with lists by typing "---". However, there are a few workarounds you can use to create a more visually distinct separator in your checklists:

 

  1. Using Symbols or Characters: You can use a series of characters or symbols to create a makeshift separator. For example:

    • ---

    • ===

    • ***

    • ~~~

  2. Empty Checklist Item: You can create an empty checklist item with just a descriptive label or a series of characters. This won't have use as checkbox, but it will act as a visual separator. For example:

    • --- Section Break ---

    • ***

    • ===[Section Title]===

  3. Using Emojis: Incorporating emojis can help you create a more visually appealing separator. For example:

    • 🔹🔹🔹

    • ⚪⚪⚪

    • 🚀🚀🚀
