How to automatically copy postcode from custom field to standard location field

Mervyn Marsh

We are importing job cards into trello, and importing the postcode for the job card (where the completed job will end up) into a custom field. Is there any way we can set up a rule to automatically copy the postcode from the custom field into the provided location field so that we can view each job card in map view?

Or is there an alternative work around to viewing all the job cards in map view without manually having to add the postcode to the location field of each card?

Some time back I (think) wrote a program that update the location with Map Power Up installed, the map does not show on the card. Not sure whether that has changed recently.

@Mervyn Marsh as far as I'm aware there is no way to write to the pluginData of other powerups than your own, only to read from them.

Picture is from Trello API documentation for Update a Card. It seems that something has changed

Just managed to update the coordinates, address and locationName. The Map View changed on the card. Basically used the coordinates of New Location to replace the attributes on the test card...one with dummy address and name. Screen Shot 2021-07-05 at 7.44.51 AM.jpg

Given my test just now (see my reply to @Iain Dooley ) you should be able to import locations with address, locationName and the coordinates. You need to translate the postal code to the above. If it is a matter of creating new cards it will be a lot easier. To update an existing card then you need the cross reference.

Update: used free USA census geocoding website to get coordinates and update a card - address, locationName and coordinates.
