Butler - Multiple Checklists on a card - not converting into linked cards

Question

Hello Fellow Trello-Lovers!

I've come across a bit of an issue that I've never had before!

I decided that I wanted to take my checklists to the next level, and for each item on a checklist to be changed to linked cards.

I want to have a card button that would make all the checklist items into linked cards so that I know exactly how much I have to do, rather than just a checklist which doesn't tell me how long things will take.

So, I made a card button that looks like this:

But for some unknown reason, it doesn't do multiple checklists, it only did the bottom checklist on one card, the top one had a task ticked off, so I thought that might have been why. So then I tried it on another card with 5 checklists and nothing ticked off, and it only did the top checklist and not the other 4.

How do I get it to act on all the checklists on the card and not just the one it feels like running on?!

Worked on something that help overcome the limitation ...Butler cannot

convert all the items in all the checklists

If you want to conserv your card button, just apply a small modification to the targeted checklist and press the card button.

According to me, you must to treat checklist one by one. For this you can use a rule like this :

when an item containing "converting" is added to checklist "{*}", remove item "converting", and convert all the items in checklist "{checklistname}" into linked cards

Then,

Just add an technical item (in my use case, named "converting") in a checklist, this will trigger converting rule and remove the technical item.

Repeat this action for each targeted checklist.

@Esme Crutchley , so what I suggest you it is not a card button (it will not work) but a checklist button like.
