Moving a mirrored card

[Kalyn Adams]

I am trying to do this but when I click cascade and select the "find a card titled" I don't know how to add the "and" so it knows what to do with the card I had it find.  If I add another action and tell it to move that card, nothing happens to the card on the other board.  I don't know what I am missing.

Hi @Kalyn Adams, I think I see the issue here. The mirror card has the source card's URL (or link) as it's title, not the same name as shown in your example.

So, if you were starting with the source card and wanted to find the mirror card, you'd need to find a card titled {cardlink} (I'd recommend also specifying which board to look for the mirror card in). If you have the mirror card and want to find the source card, you'd need to find a card with the link {cardname}.

After you add the "find" action, you don't need to add an "and"—you can just add the next action.

How does emailing the card to the board come into play?

"Link the cards together" has nothing to do with mirroring. It essentially creates an attachment; the attachment is a link to the other card, so that you can click on the link and jump to the other card. The actions you do on one card won't affect the other.

When it comes to moving cards within lists, if I understand you correctly, even a mirror card won't achieve this. The point of a mirror card is that it shows you the values of the original card, but in a different location of your choosing. So it wouldn't make much sense for it to move with the original card.

Also, a mirror can't be an existing card. You have to use the "create a mirror card" automation under "Add/Remove". You can't edit the mirror card with automations, as you have to edit the original card, and the changes will be reflected in the mirror. Even when you edit a mirror card by hand with your mouse/finger, from the "technical" perspective, you aren't editing the mirror; you're editing the original card.

If what you're looking for is to is move a mirrored card to a list on one board when the original card moves on a different board, and the list names are the same, you're looking for automations.

------------------------

If it is a mirror card, you can use:

find a card titled {cardlink}                                               

(use this if the trigger card is the original card)are on the original

find a card with link {cardname} on board [PUTBOARDHERE]

(use this if the trigger card is the mirror card)

-----------------------

If it is a linked card(s) (YOU CAN'T LINK MIRRORED CARDS TO MY KNOWLEDGE), then use

for each card linked in the attachments

--------------------

Then, you should be able to use:

move the card to list {triggercardlistname}

Maybe that's not what you're trying to do. It's not super clear what your exact intention is from the original post. If you have anything to clarify, please let me know! I'm here to help!

SIDENOTE: Be careful if you don't specify the list name and just use "when a card is moved into a list". You could accidentally create an infinite loop, where both cards keep trying to trigger the other card to move.

I got it to work.  I was using that formula but changing it to fit my situation.  I ended up with:  "when the "Scheduled" item is checked, find a card titled "{cardlink}" in list "Accepted clients" on board "Alfred’s Project Board", and move the card to the top of list "Scheduled" on board "Alfred’s Project Board"

Now the card on his board moves and is still mirrored from mine. The problem was the word "cardlink" and to add the word 'and' I had to add an additional action.
