How can I make a list that contains a card that links to all of my other lists?

James Merante

I'd like to get a "table of contents" for my Trello's lists. I have several boards and I have many, many lists.

I'd like to have a list that contains cards that link to each of my other lists. This way I can look at that Master list to see what needs done and nothing can slip through the cracks.

When I create a new list, I'd like a card added to my "table of contents" list.

What do you think?

There's no such thing as a "link to a list".

One thing I do sometimes, is have a card which has checklists based on list content in another board.

For example I have a project board with a ToDo list, then I have another board which has a card with a link to that board attached, and every day an automation runs that grabs all the cards in the checklist "ToDo" and adds them to the checklist on the card.

I sometimes add in automations like automatically checking off the checklist items when a linked card is moved to "Done" and vice versa when a checklist item is marked complete on the overview card, the corresponding card is moved to the list "Done".

It sounds like what you could do is have a "ToC" list at the top position of every board and every time a list is created, a card gets created in that "ToC" list with a checklist on it, and every time a card is added to the corresponding list, an item linked to that card is added to the checklist.

When a card is archived the corresponding checklist item could be completed or removed. You could periodically rename the list to archive it or delete the list to get a fresh one (even though you can also just hide completed items).

If you wanted to automate this using Trellinator it would look like this:

@Iain Dooleythe link you provided doesn't go anywhere- can you redo please?

Iain Dooley

@carolyn french oh that's strange, maybe it's freaking out because the URL is so long. Here it is shortened:

It just shows some sample code for achieving this using the Trellinator API wrapper. Thanks for the heads up! @James Merante if you were unable to load the original link you can see what I posted in the above link.

Carolyn, I'll make sure to shorten links before I post them in future.

Hmmm it still goes to a page that says "File not found." Can you copy and paste the code here?
