How to copy card description to another card

[J. vd W.]

Hi all,

When a {checklistitemname} is added to a checklist, my Trello board makes this {checklistitemname} card an attachment to the triggercard and links them together. I wish to copy the card description of the {checklistitemname} card to the triggercard.

I've been trying various things but can't seem to figure it out. Currently I have:

when an item starting with "{checklistitemname}" is added to checklist "Trilblok", find a card titled "{checklistitemname}", and set the card's description to "{foundcarddescription}"

This however doesn't work, because it sets the {checklistitemname}card instead of the triggercard to the {foundcarddescription}

Hi @J. vd W. ! I think I answered you in Reddit as well - try this instead:

when an item is added to checklist "X", lookup a card titled "{checklistitemname}", and set the card's description to "{foundcarddescription}"

The only thing is this will overwrite the description of the card - not sure if that's expected.

Yes, thank you very much! That indeed is the solution.

Problem solved :)
