Automatically create a new list titled with dates

unknown

Hi, I want to create either a board button or an automation that will create a new list with a date in the title. This is for a work planner, I would have 1 list as a 'ToDo List' and cards could then be dropped into the dated list.

So the automation would either create a list with todays date, or better still create a whole week or months worth of new lists all with dates in the titles.

Is this possible with Trello currently?

You could set up an automation to create dated lists every day using a scheduled command and variables. For example, “every day at 12:00 am, create a new list named ToDo List for {date}”.

Ok, thats helpful thank you. How would I create 5 lists for a whole week? Could {date}+1 work?

Hi @[deleted],

You could use arithmetic with date variables.

Please use the 'd' value prefixed with the day number to adjust the date. For example, {date+1d}, {date+2d} and so on will work. You could schedule the command to run once a week if you plan to create the dated lists on a weekly basis.

Here's an example of how you could set up the command to create 5 lists for the week every Monday:

Hope this helps!

Very helpful, would it be possible to also insert the Day with the Date. So it displays as 'Mon, May 6, 2022' for example.

@Namratha - I found this post, which somewhat helps with my problem. I would like to set up an automation so that every Monday a new list is created called Completed and the date range, so for instance Completed 5/13-5/17; however, I'm new to Trello and don't know how to type date ranges. Is this possible? Thanks!
