How to have the card revert back to its original list after removing the label?

Lauren Kramer July 30, 2024

I saw this post over 2 years ago and it didn't really do the trick:

Moving Cards to another list and back 

There's another suggestion there but it would require to create another set of automation. Does anyone has a 2024 solution to this?

@Lauren Kramer I can think of a way to achieve this but it's fairly convoluted and involves the use of custom fields and regex, but you could probably find ways to do it without. 

The first step is to find some way to record the previous list within the card. For example, you could create a custom field called "Previous List". Then, create a rule to populate this field using the {triggercardpreviouslistname} field. 

It's a bit of an advanced one using regex, but this rule should achieve that:

when a card is moved into list "regex:/.*(\w+).*/", set custom field "Previous List" to {triggercardpreviouslistname}.

Then, another rule to move the card to the previous list when a label is removed.

when the "x" label is removed from a card, move the card to the list {{%Previous List}}


I haven't tested any of this so not actually sure if it would work so let me know how you get on!!
