Deleting checklist items just got harder

[Doug]

Hello Atlassian... do you perform usability tests and studies before pushing out a release?  The latest one makes it really hard to quickly delete checklist items. Actually you'd already made it more difficult by having to highlight the item first before showing a trash can. Now you moved it to the bottom so every time I delete something then I have to wait for the "Deleted item... undo" message to disappear before I can delete the next item.  Deleting a checklist item easily went from good to OK to bad.  So my question is two fold: 1) Do you perform usability testing beyond the developers? 2) Can you go back to making it easier to delete checklist items?

Hi, Doug!

Thanks for explaining what happened with the steps. In truth, I didn't notice this change even though I use the app quite frequently.

Now, it does seem like waiting a couple of seconds for the popup to appear could be quite annoying for multiple items. I'd probably give up and move to the web version to do it in bulk, which is definitely not ideal. 

My first thought is that if the popup confirming the item was deleted with the undo option was located on a different spot on the screen, or if you could just drag it down to get rid of it immediately, that would probably ease the annoyance, do you agree? 

I'm saying that because I could create a JAC ticket on your behalf with our product team to find a similar solution. You'd be able to check on it's progress as well, seeing as those tickets are all public, and get notified when changes happen to it. 

Let me know how that sounds I'll take it as a go-ahead for that!

Yes, that sounds like a reasonable solution. We often carry checklists over from one week to the next (a grocery list for example) and so we do a lot of deleting for the things that are no longer relevant for the coming week. 

Thank you for the reply and for creating the ticket!

Hi, Doug!

Thanks for your reply! Here's the public ticket on this matter: 

https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/TRELLO-588

I'd recommend you (or anyone seeing this question in the future) visit that suggestion, log in with your Atlassian account, and click *Start watching this issue* on the right panel. This will help our product and engineering team understand more about which functionalities our users are interested in. Also, when the ticket is updated by our product team, you'll be notified via email.

Hopefully that helps, have a great one! =)
