when a card from another board is automated to copy into a list on a different board, can you create an automation to create a simpler card with less information in a list on the board it was just copied too?
@Brodie Lee-Little yes! are you using the card copy automation or the create a card automation? I recommend using the create a new card option, because you can choose what to copy over, for instance if you just want to copy the card name, that's all you need to copy.
Use variables like {cardname} to create a new card with the same name as the original card, and click the pencil icon to type {carddescription} to copy over the description.
i wanna take the name and some of the the custom fields. is that possible or can you only do name and description?

@Brodie Lee-Little yes! you'll use this action for "create a new card" and use the title {cardname} to copy the trigger card name, and then you'll go to the Fields set of actions, and pick the custom fields and reference the custom field values from the trigger cards. These docs explain more about how to reference custom field values: https://support.atlassian.com/trello/docs/working-with-custom-fields/
