A list aggregating all empty "Doing" lists in other boards
Asked by r0629527:

Hi all,

How would one go about having an overview-board with a list "Not Doing" which scans all other boards for a "Doing" list and when one is found that is empty (indicating I'm currently not doing anything for said project/board) it adds a card with the name of that board to this "Not Doing" list. When something is found then that card is removed again.

An example could be a card called "Learning to Cook" being added to the "Not Doing" list of my overview-board. This would then indicate the "Doing" list in the "Learning to Cook" board is empty. Once I add, for example, a "seasoning basics" card to the "Doing" list the "Learning to Cook" card in the "Not Doing" list in my overview-board is removed.

What I'm able to do through automation is to have other boards create a new, unique, card in the "Not Doing" list on my overview board when it detects an empty list and since I can give the new card any name I want I just give it the name of the board in question. Some drawbacks are that I need to add and configure this rule for each project-board (this does have the advantage that I can easily exclude some project-boards) and that it does not detect when something is added to a "Doing" list, it can only detect when something is removed. So detecting when nothing is being done is possible, but then detecting when something is being done is not yet possible.

body: [@r0629527](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5378118) welcome to the community ? if you wanted to create one rule, you could say something like:  

```
when list "Doing" has exactly 0 cards, create a unique card with title "{boardname}" in list "Not Doing"
```

And then just enable it on the applicable boards.  

For your other question about what happens when a card goes from having 0 cards to one or more, what would be the ideal scenario? Would you want it to archive the card in your overview board? In that case, would something like this work?  

```
when list "Doing" has more than 0 cards, find a card titled "{boardname}" on board "Overview", and archive the card
```

comments: author: r0629527
body: This works great Hannah, thank you!

I now learned that there are so called automation variables, like {boardname}, and that you can cascade actions.

The final rules ended up being:

- when list "Doing" has exactly 0 cards, create a unique card with title "{boardname}" at the bottom of list "Not Doing" on board "To Do Or Not To Do"

- when list "Doing" has more than 0 cards, find a card titled "{boardname}" in list "Not Doing" on board "To Do Or Not To Do", and archive the card

Automation Rule - Creating a New List and Moving Items to the New List & Date Issues
Asked by Michael Truong:

Hi,

I need to see my completed tasks on the Monday of every week, so that I can complete timesheeting.

To enable this, I've set up a completed list. What I'd like is if at the beginning of every Monday, a scheduled action will create a new list called "Completed {date-1d}" to create a list that for the example of this week on 4th December, called "Completed 1/12/23", moves all my cards from an existing list (that uses rules) called "Completed" and then archive that list for my reference.

I can't seem to get Trello to reference a list that it's creating as part of that automation.

I've also run into a weird item where using the "1 working day" time may not be pulling through. If I use a button that changes the due date to "1 working day" from now, it seems to add 1 working day plus another working day

eg: On 3/12 (10am Saturday) I tested a button that should change the due date to 1 working day from now. It changes it to 6/12 (11am Wednesday).

Syntax: "Set DUE date in 1 WORKING DAYS.

3 questions:

1. Does anyone know how to get Trello to move cards to/reference that new list?

1a. I'm also concerned the dynamic naming {date-1d} may not reference easily. Does anyone have experience with this?

2. The one working day setting - is there a known error with this? Or am I somehow using this wrong?

3. Is there a way to write customisations as pure text using say {} tags instead of Trello's user friendly interface? Understanding this could mean more user error, but it could easier and more powerful.


Answers:
author: Brittany Joiner
body: [@Michael Truong](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5377915) you should be able to reference that newly created list, you'll just need to use the exact same text that you put when you create it. so if you say "Completed {date-1d}" you should be able to say move to "Completed {date-1d}" list, just make sure to do that action _after_ it's created.

I admittedly don't use the -1d that often, but it should work. If you want, you can use {weeknumber} which is what I do when i want to make a new list each week and move over my completed cards.

Here's what my rules look like (you can ignore the last part about moving over random cards from the backlog)

Regarding delete, I always advise the people don't get tied in knots with this. Treat archive as delete and then forget and move on.

If you are desperate to delete cards, its a 2 stage process. Archive - Delete. Treat it more like an "Are you sure you want to delete" function. Once it's deleted it is absolutely unrecoverable.  
There are card deletion power-ups you can find if you open the power-up directory and search for **Delete**

Sounds like a super frustrating problem.

Given this is a question more geared towards Trello development, I'd definitely recommend reposting over in our Trello Developer Community forums: <https://community.developer.atlassian.com/c/trello/42>

You'll be more likely to get some eyes on it there, and an audience better placed to assist.

Hope this helps! (and happy for any devs to chime in here in the meantime if they see this in the meantime).

Showing Percent of Cards/Tasks Complete

Hi all

I'd like to have a card on each project board that shows the percent complete of a certain type of card/task. Let's say I have a Label for each phase of my project. I'd like to display a field that tells me the % of all tasks complete across all cards with that label.

Guest access on Trello, displays "restricted content" for dropbox link, link won't work
Asked by Solveig Singleton:

I have guest access to an account on Trello. I have been (in the past) able to follow the teams links to Dropbox files no problems. After a hiatus of several weeks, I am back, but the Dropbox links no longer work for me. I can see the link. The flag "Restricted Content' appears at the end of the link. If I click the link, it invites me to log in to Dropbox. The correct path flashes up for a half a second, then I get the message "This folder does not exist." I am able to see all my other Dropbox folders just fine. I have tried resetting, restarting, relinking the accounts, but the same thing is happening. Ideas?


Answers:
author: Michael Yaroshefsky - Visor for Jira
body: Hi [@Solveig Singleton](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5377547)  

Welcome to the Atlassian Community.  

**You can try the following:**   

1. Since you're a guest, can you ask the owner of the Trello board to share the Dropbox files with you directly?
2. The owner might also be able to download the Dropbox files and then add them directly to Trello as an attachment. (More work, I know, but it can save you the trouble of clicking links that don't work)
3. Alternatively, you can try Trello's Google Drive "power-up"- that still seems to be working fine.

You also mentioned seeing "the correct path flash for a half-second then the message the folder does not exist" appears. You might be seeing this because Dropbox used to have a power-up for Trello, but they discontinued it last year. (You could be seeing remnants of that -this is only my theory, though)  

Let me know if any of these options help.

comments: author: Solveig Singleton
body: Thanks. We have been transferring the files by other methods, and I guess we'll have to stick with that. The only article I had found on the Dropbox power-up said that issues with it were resolved last year, but not that it was discontinued. I'm puzzled as to why it is working for other team members, but sounds like it is not a problem for me to solve, either way.
