Hi @Jorge eduardo nathostlinux 

This isn't possible natively, as far as I know.

Trello's boards/lists are not a workflow like in Jira, they are very flexible and lists can be essentially anything you like. But that also means conditional rules like in a workflow are not an included feature.

Your options are...

1. Look for a Power-up that can support this need - check out options here
2. Use Automation to reverse an action, depending on the parameters

---

For example using (2), an Automation Rule might look like this...

• Trigger: 
  • When a card due in more than 5 days is added to list Done
• Action:
  • move the card to the top of list {triggercardpreviouslistname}

...the dynamic value, {triggercardpreviouslistname}, moves the card back to its previous list position.
