Filter option in free versoin
Asked by ansar:

Hi

Is the color filter option available in the free version of Trello, please? i.e searching cards through color-coded labels in the free version?


Answers:
author: nickabbooo
body: I think you can do through **Show Menu \> Search Cards**. On it, you could search card by its labels.

I dont think you could choose by color (ie: search cards with green label), but you could select all labels with your chosen color. Labels with the same color are grouped anyway so just multiple clicks do the job.

Create a "master card" to control multiple cards
Asked by Tomas Dreves:

Hi everyone, i have a board with a butler button that creates a new card with the all the cards within a list (it "merges" the cards, lets call it the Master card \[MC\]). This card is created in a new board. What i want to know if it is possible to sync this MC with the ones on the original list, in order to move this N number of cards (doing -\> done) when i move the MC in his own board from doing to done?


Answers:
author: Iain Dooley
body: [@Tomas Dreves](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4081491) how are they linked together? There's no merge feature in Trello, do you just have them linked by attaching the cards to each other or are you collecting multiple cards into a linked checklist on a master card?
Why is my font color pink in my cards?
Asked by james_varughese:

A few days ago my font in my cards turned pink. I wasn't sure if i turned on some sort of colorblind setting or new post setting but after poking around I couldn't find anything. I'd like for my font to go back to a default color when entering in cards, checklists, etc.


Answers:
author: nickabbooo
body: Hi [@james_varughese](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4090230)

As far as I know Trello does not provides a functionality to change the text color of cards. From my experience, these kind of glitch might be caused by browser extension.

My suggestions is trying disable all browser extension and reload the page. If the color fixed, you can then activates them one-by-one to see which extension is the culprit.

Hope that helps!
Can only a team belong to a personal board?
Asked by takacs_m91:

I have 11 personal boards that I don't have the ability to assign people to unless I create a team and add to it. Previously, I could simply invite people to personal boards.


Answers:
author: Stephen Addis
body: It doesnt become an issue until you want to add any users to more than two boards ... then it starts wanting you to take out a paid plan.  

Not sure if with Trello Gold its different, but the Trello free, used to not be an issue, then say couple of months ago they started pushing the teams and saw the just add somebody feature go.


author: alfredbuehler
body: I think you still an achieve this. AFICS, adding members to any card will add them as board members. No team involved.
Why aren't the replies to my emails showing up as comments on my Trello card?
Asked by Adrena McDonald:

Someone else asked a similar question to mine, but the only responses it had were for add-ons and power-ups. I'm just trying to get the functionality to work as designed!

If I forward an email to my Trello board, it works perfectly. A card is created, and the email is in the description. But any additional emails in that email thread do not show up as comments on the card as is indicated in the Trello support documentation as what should be happening.

Someone recommended that you add the Trello board email address in the BCC line of any email replies in the thread, but that is only causing me to end up with duplicate cards.

I have ensured that comments for the board are not disabled.

Anyone have any ideas what I might be missing?


Answers:
author: Stephen Addis
body: If you are sending in from not your account registered email address, using a address code from your login, it will bounce it as possible spam.  

TBH, I always hit the forward button, and just cut and paste it so I can put it in manually as a comment. Keeps the email footer and other litter to a minimum, but I can also highlight the right bit of the email in bold (put two astrisks either side of what you want to highlight) \*\*Like this\*\* and it will go bold.  

Other tips and tricks, google MARKDOWN its a coding method of formatting that Trello uses.


author: Iain Dooley
body: [@Adrena McDonald](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4090054) I've found the threading behaviour in Trello to be pretty haphazard. That's why I created BenkoBoard to use Trello as a Gmail client, but then you said you don't want to use any powerups or integrations ;)

Every card also has an email address, though, so worst comes to worse you could copy that and put it in the BCC of your replies.

You can't fetch that address using the API though, and you can't fetch it from the mobile app, so I always found this solution untenable also.

email
Emailing to board while using calendar view
Asked by Neil Brubaker:

I would like to email to trello board an appointment email and have the created card appear in calendar view as falling on the day the appointment is for rather than falling on the day the card was made. Is this possible? Can you control where, in calendar mode, the card will show when creating the card via email to board?


Answers:
author: Iain Dooley
body: [@Neil Brubaker](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4053343) the card will show in the calendar whenever the due date is set. You can use Butler to set the due date on a card based on an offset, but there's not currently a "card created containing a date" option in Butler.

I created a function for it in Trellinator called parseDate that handles a bunch of different date/time strings, here you can see a list of the available formats:

<http://docs.trellinator.com/trellinator_Trellinator.js.html#line1229>

The Trellinator function to do this would look like this:

<https://gist.github.com/iaindooley/b278a1414cdb77c4fd9f368d56970ec4>

You can read more about Trellinator here:

<https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Marketplace-Apps-Integrations/Introducing-Trellinator-Automate-Trello-with-Google-Apps-Script/ba-p/925271>

The only pain is it's not all that easy to set up but works reliably once you've done so.

Another option would be to use the feature that you can append "#labelname" to the email subject to create the card with a given label, then you could use Butler to offset the date based on that. For example you could append "#8days" to the email subject, then have a Butler rule that when a card was emailed to the board with label "8days" that it would be set due in 8 days time, but because you can't use wildcards in label names of Butler triggers, you would need one command for each number of days offset.

comments: author: Neil Brubaker
body: That makes sense...it's a clever work around! Too bad email to board doesn't have a way to format the text to give a due date. Thank you so much for your response! I'm new to trello and am the only one on my team trying to figure a lot of this kind of stuff out.

Create an email report including checklist items assigned to me
Asked by Lucas Hicks:

I see a way to generate an email report with cards *assigned to me* that are due *this week* . Is there a way to generate a report that includes *checklist items*based on that criteria as well?

Can Butler add a due date to a checklist item?
Asked by Jessica Raden:

I've figured out how to use butler to get a new checklist item to appear when another is checked but now I can't figure out how to get butler to assign a due date to that new checklist item. It seems I can manually add in a due date to that checklist item but can't get it to automatically happen - the action just creates a due date on the card. This task will always be due the same day the other is completed.

It does consume your quota but it works just the same. I am using a text field


author: Stephen Addis
body: Might be for what I am guessing you want to use if for, try the AGEING app, powerup, it will go through four stages of grey to fade out if the card has not seen any love for a while, like every two weeks.  

Then, cards that need attention or archive, are pretty grey after about 6 weeks, and ones that have activity recent, they jump off the screen as real bright.  

Bit like the saying, soar like an eagle when your surrounded by turkeys.
Adding an email as an attachment
Asked by lgilliland:

The paperclip symbol displays on the front of the Trello card, but when I open the card, I cannot see or open any attachments - they do not display. What happened?


Answers:
author: Stephen Addis
body: Do what I do, which is I cut and paste the email to a word document, save as PDF then upload the PDF so that anyone can view, download etc and is quicker for users as doesnt get their email client to try to open/block for security etc.  

Then, you can also highlight the appropriate bits of the email, put the address \& bits in smaller font etc.

comments: author: lgilliland
body: thanks for the suggestions - it had to do with me signing in to Atlassian, versus trello - so my attachments were going to AWS database, versus displaying in my cards. WHEW.

author: Dan Ivory
body: Hi [@lgilliland](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4089528)

What type of file are you trying to attach to the card? Perhaps the file is too large?

The home page has some specific conditions for cards to populate, which you can find here: <https://help.trello.com/article/1119-the-home-page>

You should start by adding your team members to some cards with due dates which should start generating some more details on their home pages.

Basically you can't be notified if anyone opens and views the card.

You will only get a notification when you are assigned to the card and someone changed anything!

or

even if anything changed in a board that you are an admin of.

How to rename a Board I did not create?
Asked by Jezamine Chan:

Hi, I'm trying to rename some Board that I did not create. Is there a way the person who created the Board can grant me access to rename it?


Answers:
author: Stephen Addis
body: Afraid you have to ask who set it up, or ask them to hand the board over to your login.  

To avoid in the future, set the board up first and get the invites out ... then its your board, your rules, your admin.  

Its an admin protection thing, to stop people destroying it or being wiser than the admin.

comments: author: Jezamine Chan

How do I hand a board over to another login?


author: Soumyadeep Mandal
body: Hi [@Jezamine Chan](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4088933) ,

Welcome to the community!

You can contact the admin/owner of the board. Only the admin can grant permission to other members of the board.

If you change the name of any board it will change the name of the board for everyone on the same board.

comments: author: Jezamine Chan
body: Thanks for the response. I understand that if I change the name of the board, it'll change for everyone in the board. However, the admin/owner of the board requires me to update the name of the board due to the nature of our project. Is there a way the owner can grant me permission to change the name of the board?

As an owner of a board, I can only allow members to comment and add/remove. But there is no option for me to allow members to change the name of the board.


author: Soumyadeep Mandal
body: Changing the permission will solve the issue

read this documentation <https://help.trello.com/article/791-changing-permissions-on-a-board>


author: Jezamine Chan
body: Thanks, but it did not solve the issue. Even when all permissions are allowed, only the admin/owner of the board can change the title/ name of the board.


author: Stephen Addis
body: Not sure, know it can be done though, for example if somebody leaves the project, they hand over. In this instance, ask them.  

Use it as a question like,  
Would it be benificial to other users if we renamed the board XXX.  

Or start with Any chance we could rename X  

Always could us the   
Oh darn, my companies being audited for our ISO certification and the board is not in accordance with policy. Any chance you could rename it XX so he dont bust my balls if he comes accross it.  

Or ... your boss phone his boss.  

Remember, get in first, create the boards, you have control. I create them, leave them open so others can invite, ie, dont lock it down too much, then people wont ask to be in their name. Then the real important things (like wallpaper) you can just do.


author: Jezamine Chan
