Adding a location to a list

[Ben Hughes]

Is there a way to add a location to an entire list that subsequent cards will then be associated with as opposed to adding a location to each individual card? 

Example - If I have rolling stock that is constantly moving to different locations (my lists), is there a way to assign each list a location that would then assign it to the cards?

To write location attributes to a card requires the use of API. Trello has not exposed them. There is currently no automation that allows you to write to the card. Note that there are 4 values - name, address, Lat and Lon.

So even if the list has the values you will still need to call a http request when card is moved into the list to update the tributes.

Definitely doable. I am doing something similar for a client that delivers oil products to their customers.

Or maybe you know an easy way to add multiple cards based on a spreadsheet (zip code, street, city)?

Yes. I have clients with similar requirements. This involves geocoding and using Trello api to add cards with the location attributes added to it. Eg my client from when prepares the data on Google sheet and when it is read activated the conversion. They do this for their fiber cabling projects.
