Card specific custom fields - when will this functionality be available?

[Deb Breen]

I've noticed that many people here have requested the ability to add functionality for card specific custom fields.  And I currently am in need of this feature as well.  Is this on the Trello roadmap and if so, when might it be available??

Depending upon your needs, you can do this right now with the Amazing Fields PowerUp .

See: How to chose which fields to show or hide on Trello cards? in the Amazing Fields documentation site.  You can even use formulas to dynamically determine if a field should show up.

Thanks @Allen -Amazing PowerUps- - I actually *just* found and installed Amazing Fields.  And while I like the functionality, it's a bit of a bummer that when the fields are hidden the space that the fields take up shows as empty space on the card.   :(

They shouldn't show up at all.  

Here is an example board that is using this capability and the fields don't show up when not needed.  https://trello.com/b/xlQbIsPC/amazing-fields-features

Feel free to follow up with Amazing Fields support by clicking on the "Support" button to help resolve the issue.  It definitely shouldn't be doing what you are describing.

That's great news! I'll check out the example you shared and will follow up w/ support if needed.  Thanks so much for your help Allen.  Really appreciate it.

Amazing fields don't show on the app - which is fine, I just need the custom field I created to NOT be on EVERY card on a board.  Any ideas?

Something I built yesterday might be useful here. It is to turn a checklist into reference-able Trello variables so that it can be used as part of your automation. Stay tuned.

Probably not as sleek as Amazing Fields but it works

This is something I am working on. It is inspired by your request for card specific custom fields. The key is really the fact that I can use the same app as a server to get the data back and the variables in Trello automation.

@Allen -Amazing PowerUps- 

If you can, what are you using for ui. Currently, I can only use jinja2 templates which is not pretty.

The output is actual {httpresponse} which means you can use it in Trello Automation using {httpresponse.<some name>} to get the value e.g.{httpresponse.Card Specific CF } will give you "You asked for it".
