Use Trello Butler to identify next incomplete item in checklist

Jennifer M January 8, 2020

I am trying to use the Butler feature in Trello along with Custom Fields Power-Up to display the next "unchecked" item on a checklist on the front card so I can see it without opening the card.  

Currently I have the created the rule [when the "{checklistitemname}" item is checked by me, set custom field "Next Activity" to "{checklistitemname}"]

The problem is this rule will display the checklist item that I just marked as complete. I am looking for a variable or way to indicate that the "Next Activity" should be set to whatever the next incomplete is on the checklist for that item. 

Is there a way to do this?

Hi, 

there is a way, but it involves 2 constraints.

- items must be converted into linked cards.

- items must be ordered in reverse in the checklist (the first item at the last position and the last at the first position in the checklist). 

Still interested ?

the continuation here...

when an item is checked, for each card linked from an incomplete item in checklist "{checklistname}", find the first card linked in the attachments, and set custom field "Next Activity" to "{multipliercardname}"

Thank you for that information. I will just manually type in the next activity since that seems less inconvenient than working within the constraints listed above.

It would be great to be able to reference some common positions of checklists e.g. {cardchecklistlastitem}
