Hi all, I use Trello for my project management, I'm currently creating job numbers with excel, approx 100 a week. This seems very inefficient and I was wondering if there is a job number generator software that links or is compatible with Trello. Any suggestions would be much appreciated!
Hello @boyandbirdcollective
Every card in a Trello board has a unique number, starting at 1 for the first one created, then incrementing thereafter. By default, that number isn't shown anywhere, and there are a few browser-side add-ins like Trello Card Numbers that make it visible, but a much easier way is to create a custom field and store the card's number in it.
The full rule will be:
when a card is added to the board, set custom field "ID" to "{cardnumber}"
The variable {cardnumber} will be substituted with the number of the card when the rule runs.
Voila! A unique, incrementing number field for every card.
If you want the field to have some extra identifying information, make it a custom text field, so you can set it to something fancy like "ABC-{cardnumber}" or "{boardname}-{cardnumber}" etc. Read the Trello variables page to see all the variables available for use in Butler rules.
Thanks for sharing. I did not know that the card number is unique to the board. Definitely useful to have in a developer’s toolkit.

Clarification:
{cardid}
The internal ID of the card (for example, FY2OWrnc). This value is always constant.
{cardnumber}
The internal number of the card on the board (for example, 48). This value changes when the card is moved to another board (not always available).
