Is Tracking from Checkbox(task) in an Checklist with Trello possible?

[MIchael Bloch]

Hello,

I´m testing trello for my company. I´prepared my Board (Tasks) with 10 different Checklists. I what to track some Checklists OR Checkboxes per "due-date". Is this possible or do I need an other Software , like JIRA?

P.S. I´m from Germany- I hope my english is good enough :-)

Kind regards

Michael

Hi @MIchael Bloch ,

It's no default feature you are requesting here, but it can be achieved with a few tricks.

What you could do is using the Butler Power-Up for setting up automations in Trello, and convert checklist items into linked cards. Checklist items themselves can not have added trackable due dates, but if you create a card from a checklist item, this is possible.

With the Butler Power-Up, you could then check off the (linked) checklist item, once the card with the due date gets completed.

Does that make sense? - If you want to, I can explain further in Deutsch. :)

Hi @MIchael Bloch

You might also try our Power-Up, Hello Epics, which lets you break your cards into parent-child cards. It even has a feature that converts checklists to child cards so you can turn your existing checklists into children automatically. It will automatically track progress of the children too. Check it out:
