Adding labels when typing #label-name, adding assignees when typing @name no longer works

sadi_zahir June 5, 2023

It would be great to bring this back, it really slows down productivity when creating and assigning cards rapidly

@rocavall I have posted this in the other comments but didn't want you to miss out.  There is a simple way you can recreate in automation...

Hi @sadi_zahir,

Thanks for your question. We have recently decided to remove the Card Composer Options feature. The Card Composer Options feature allowed people to add members and labels to cards before they were created. While this feature was certainly useful for some users, it also represented pretty significant technical complexity and maintenance effort that didn't match up with how much it was being used.

By removing the Card Composer Options feature, we are streamlining card creation and laying the foundation for better card creation improvements in the future. There are still a few ways to use shortcuts to add members and labels to cards that we recommend:

1. You can use the 1-0 keys or the L key to apply labels to a card while hovering over it in the board view, or while a card is open.

2. The M key will let you add members to a card, also while hovering in the board view, or while the card is open. If you'd like to add yourself, the spacebar key does this.

3, When creating a new card, type the card title then press Shift+Enter to create it (instead of Enter by itself). It will create and open the card at the same time. This makes the L and M shortcuts a bit more accessible!

Last, it may be worth having a look at our Automation tool to see if any of your regular label or member workflows could potentially be done automatically: https://trello.com/guide/automate-anything

I recognize that's not entirely ideal, but hopefully those options give you a few different ways to speed up your workflows in Trello without those Card Composer Options.

I'm going to miss that feature! Hopefully will get used to these shortcuts you mention.
