list of cards a user has contributed to

[dimitris]

How can I list / filter all the cards that have been contributed to by a specific user (that user may no longer be assigned to the card)

[Iain Dooley · Accepted solution]

@dimitris what constitutes a contribution? Is it all cards on which a particular user has made a comment?

[dimitris]

yes

[Iain Dooley]

@dimitris And in what context do you need to see that list? Do you need a one off report or is this something that happens regularly during a review? If you describe your workflow a bit I might be able to help.

[dimitris]

Well, certain people want to track what task they have contributed worked on at the end of a period but during that period the rest of the team wants to see only where those people are currently active at. So basically we want to remove the 'already done' cards from the day to day view without losing a track record of what each person has worked on. Makes sense?

@dimitris well one option would be an automation that adds a label to the card with the name of any member who comments like this:

Note that when you add the rule, you have to select from a dropdown of labels but once you press the "+" sign to add the rule, you can edit the label name to set it to the variable holding the name of the member who added the comment.

Labels are already kind of overused but thanks for the option!

@dimitris you would also have the option of adding the member name to a "contributors" checklist, appending the member name to the description with:

set description to "{triggercarddescription}\n{membername}"

or appending the member name to the end of a comma separated list of values in a custom field:

set custom field value "Contributors" to "{{%Contributors}},{membername}"
