Hi,

I would like to create an automation. All cards relevant to the meeting are packed into the "Meeting Agenda" list. After the card is discussed in the meeting, the card should be moved from the meeting agenda back to the list it originally came from. So I would need some variable to move the card back to the list it was last in.

Anybody got some ideas?

Hi @stev heinert 

To answer directly your question, you can have an automation that when a card is moved into the list "Meeting Agenda", store the previous list name as a custom field

The automations will read like this:

Automation 1

when a card is moved into list "Meeting Agenda", set the custom field "Previous List" to {triggercardpreviouslistname}

 

Automation 2 - Board button

move each card in list "Meeting Agenda" with the custom field "Previous List" set to list "{{%Previous List}}

Hello @Dreamsuite Mike ,

I hope you are well.  If you have the time, can you please give me a little more information on Automation 2?  This is as far as I got:

But when I hit Board Button runs the cards from my "Today" list don't move back to their original lists.

Best wishes,

Poppy

Hi @[deleted] 

 

Change it to:

move each card in list "Today" with custom field set to list {{%Previous list}}

Hello @Dreamsuite Mike
Thank you so much for your reply - I am sorry, I am being quite slow, but I keep being prompted for further input at this stage here:
