Work Load
Asked by Nicol? Lavelli:

Hy!,

I would like to be able to assign a workload to each activity for the resources involved.  
For example, I would like to be able to create tasks by setting a Duration of 5 days with an Effort of 10 hours, thus having a workload of 25% on those 5 days for the resource to be in charge of it. I see that this is not possible with Trello or Placker, which only allow me to enter the Duration of a task, as if the resource were to take care of it 100% for its entire duration.

Thanks,

NL

Lavelli](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5056442) -- Yes, I'm afraid we don't have a built-in feature that you could use to start tracking the workload of your projects on Trello similar to what Jira can offer natively. However, you could look at some of the Power-Ups we have available in our directory and see if they fit into your team's workflow.

Identify incoming messages outside of my domain
Asked by tkelly:

I use Sendboard to ingest new emails. (awesome tool). I want to flag messages that are received outside of "my.com" domain. I can flag items within my domain, but I can't solve for the negative condition. Here is the code I use:

when a comment containing ? \[Email\]({\*}) From [{\*}@my.com{\*}](mailto:%7b*%7d@gswell.com%7b*%7d) is posted to a card with an empty description by @sendboardbotxxx, add the **Internal** label to the card

But what I want is

when a comment **NOT** containing ? \[Email\]({\*}) From [{\*}@my.com{\*}](mailto:%7b*%7d@gswell.com%7b*%7d) is posted to a card with an empty description by @sendboardbotxxx, add the **External** label to the card

I've spent too many cycles trying to solve this and now I've hit the wall. Any thoughts would be appreciated.


Answers:
author: XLR8 Work
body: I have not used Sendboard yet but what is the actual result of the second code in it's current state ? Does it just not match the criteria at all so nothing happens ?

Does the first code still work if you're less explicit and exclude this part ? **? \[Email\]({\*}) From**

and just use **when a comment containing [{\*}@my.com{\*}](mailto:%7b*%7d@gswell.com%7b*%7d) is posted to a card with an empty description by @sendboardbotxxx, add the Internal label to the card**

If that works, perhaps doing similar for the second code would help. I'm just thinking to simplify the criteria you are trying to match as much as possible, there must be something in there throwing it out, so can you strip it back at all ?

Template trello cards - do changes cascade?
Asked by Gillian Fisher:

We want to create a template card to be copied many times to manage individual items in a content project.

If at a later stage we change the template card eg. add another item to the checklist, will those changes cascade to all cards created from the template?


Answers:
author: Augusto Lisboa
body: Hi, Gillian! Welcome to Atlassian Community :D  

The changes performed on a template will not affect the cards created before the changes, as described in [Creating Template Cards](https://support.atlassian.com/trello/docs/creating-template-cards/) documentation

Butler Rules - don't work if lists are renamed
Asked by Andreas Mayr:

Hi there!

Am I doing something wrong or does Trello behave differently at what I expected?

Short explained:

I have some Card Buttons defined and also some Butler rules.

*Card Button Example:"Move the card to the top of list "Done""*

Now, if I rename the List "Done" to "Done ?" or "Done2" etc. Trello automatically creates a **new** list with the name "Done" and moves the card there.

Is this a normal behavior? I thougt Trello stores the Lists with a unique ID in the background or something.

So what should I do in order to keep all my rules functioning and still be able to rename the lists?

Thank you for your help!

Andreas


Answers:
author: XLR8 Work
body: I just tested it and see the same behaviour as you. Looks like it's not dynamic.

I found this post which shows how to see your board in JSON (I guess you could just export it to do that too) but from what I can see lists DO have a unique ID in the backend but it looks like butler may not be configured to actually use it.

I tested again using the list ID instead of the list name and it just created a new list named the same as the old lists ID, so, it didnt work.

comments: author: Andreas Mayr
body: Hey [@XLR8 Work](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5076456)!  
Thank you a lot for testing and reaching out!

Now I remember from where I had the idea 'bout the unique ID. Your idea was quite good, it's a pitty that it didn't work as we'd like.

Maybe I'll find another solution, or Trello will provide an alike functionality.

Thanks again!

Andreas

Does anyone have any free powerups they use on boards for weekly project status updates?
Asked by Kimber Wallace:

I am hoping to get a free powerup or integration or anything that would allow our team to post weekly status updates on our boards. Our boards are being used as projects so it would be super helpful to be able to post like weekly write ups on them.

Open to ideas and suggestions!

Thank you!


Answers:
author: XLR8 Work
body: Can you leverage the inbuilt email-to-board functionality and butler rules to achieve this or does it need to be more complex than that ?

With email-to-board a new card is created in the list and position of your choice.

The subject of the email becomes the card title, the body of the email becomes the card description.

You can use rules to then take that information and move it around or populate custom fields, for example the email subject could be the status (On-Track, Off-Track, Hold etc) and your email body contains the commentary.

A butler rule could easily copy the email subject/card title into a status field and then rename the card using the email body/card description.

You could also email to a particular card but that would just go into the card comments

body: Hey [@Kimber Wallace](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5075368) - not sure who the audience is and what the detailed needs are, but you might want to check out <https://www.atlassian.com/software/atlas> - depending on your needs, the Free tier may work for you.

You can create links to Atlas projects in your Trello boards as a link card (just paste the link as the name of the card and create it) to have a way to see the latest updates from within Trello.

comments: author: Kimber Wallace
body: [@Felix](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/853253) - thanks! I checked it out and ideally we would stay in Trello. We already have a tool that is exactly like Atlas that we would not be able to switch from. And our tech stack is getting huge!   

The audience is project managers and account managers for a consulting services team. Ideally, it would be awesome if we can just have a field that is on track/off track/ on hold/delayed/etc and then just a text field to write 1-2 sentences on how the project is going.
My rules aren't showing up for me to edit
Asked by Jenn Stewart:

I have created a rule that when a card is marked completed it automatically moves the card to a different list called Completed. I decided to name my list Completed Work instead and I want to change the rule. When I go in and click on rules, it isn't showing me any of the ones I've created. So how do I edit or delete them if they don't even show up?


Answers:
author: Felipe Marques Noll
body: Hi Jenn! I hope you're well.

Once you have created the rule, you should be able to access it in your board automation. However, if you changed the board list name after configuring the rule, you'll have to edit the rule to update the list name.

<br />

If the issue persists, we'll have to take a closer look at your board automation. So, could you please open a ticket with the support team? You can go to <http://www.trello.com/contact>

We'll get back to you as soon as possible, sorry for the inconvenience!

Hello! What happens if I don't upgrade my account to premium and the trial days run out? Do I lose e
Asked by UDO:

My free trial ends in 14 days and I want to know if I don't pay for the features what will happen to my dashboard, will I lose everything or just keep the free features?


Answers:
author: Laura Holton _ACE Rotterdam_
body: Hi [@UDO](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5075068) ?

Welcome to the Community! Once you come to the end of your trial period and if you choose not to extend the paid subscription of your Trello Workspace, your access will revert back to the free plan with the applicable features.

For example, if you have more than 10 boards in your workspace upon moving back to the free plan, you'll see a list of the 10 most active Workspace boards that will remain open, and any other boards will be [closed](https://help.trello.com/article/777-closing-a-board) but not deleted. Extra boards can be closed prior to downgrading or moved to a different Workspace.

I hope this helps but if you have any other questions just ask away ?

All the best,

Laura
I FOUND THE ANSWER RELATED TO RULES DELETING
Asked by Man? Colombani:

When creating a new workflow and when being a beginner on Trello, we create rules that are no longer efficient or useful when workflow is upgraded.  

That makes a bunch of not useful rules still visible on the Rules in Butler.  
Could really use the "delete rule" option but that doesn't seems to exist.  
Please create button for that.  

Please send request if there's any way to do so  

Thx


Answers:
author: Laura Holton _ACE Rotterdam_
body: Hi [@Man? Colombani](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5075050) ?

Welcome to the Community! You should be able to delete Butler rules quite easily by opening Butler and clicking down to rules. You should then be able to see all your rules on the right hand side and above each a little dustbin, such as the example below.

![Screenshot 2022-11-09 at 16.58.07.png](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/224975i8C863BB9FA84EACC/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "Screenshot 2022-11-09 at 16.58.07.png")

If you click the dustbin and choose to remove the rule it will be removed from all boards that use it or you can choose to just disable it on selective boards.

I hope this helps but if you have any other questions just ask away ?

All the best,

Laura

Is there a way to view projects completed in the last year or see a timeline of old projects?

Welcome to Trello.

I can see one of our engineers already answered you in one of our tickets but I'm leaving his answer here just in case someone else needs helps with a similar doubt like yours:

*I think you can find out the information you're looking for using the CSV Export, assuming that you are using cards as projects and you are not deleting the cards once finished.*

*If you haven't used this before, head to the top-right corner of the desired board and select the board menu (3 dots). In the menu, select 'More' (also 3 dots), then 'Print and export', then 'Export to CSV'. This will generate a .CSV file of all cards, both current and archived, alongside their due date. Cards that have been deleted will not show here, however.*

*I'm hopeful this will suffice, but let me know if you are keeping track of your projects a different way. Please let us know if this helps and if there are any questions or concerns, and if we can be of any additional assistance!*

Thanks for using Trello

Have a great day

How to run builds on other servers
Asked by Aaron Cohen:

Running Bamboo 4.3.3. I have looked for this in the UI and in Google to no avail. I am building a project in Python that has a bunch of dependencies. We are using virutalenv, whch allows us to define specific dependencies such as Python version, modules etc. independent of whatever python version modules etc. are installed on a specific machine. We can then do: $\> workon {projectname} and then use whatever is defined in the virutal env. So, what I want to do is be able to run my tests in Bamboo using the virutal env. Is there a way to checkout the repo and run the tests on another server, other than the Bamboo server? Do I need a "remote agent"? If so, how do I add one? Do I need to be an admin?


Answers:
author: Adam Myatt
body: Hi Aaron,

Based on your description, yes you would need a Remote Agent, if indeed you have Bamboo licensed for such. You do not necessarily need to be an admin to install and add one, but you need to be an admin to configure capabilities for it that are not auto-detected and to approve its registration if your Bamboo admin has remote agent authentication turned on. You can find details about installing Remote AGents here : <https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/BAMBOO/Bamboo+remote+agent+installation+guide>

Long story short, you basically go to a remote machine, download the remote agent JAR, which is a headless daemon, run an install command and then start the agent. It "phones home" to the Bamboo server letting it know it is alive and available for builds. Bamboo can then distribute builds to all available remote agents.

If you indeed end up using multiple remote agents keep in mind the parallelization Bamboo uses between Stages and Jobs. Stages execute sequentially, but Jobs within a single Stage execute in parallel, if indeed there are multiple available remote agents that match those Jobs' requirements.
Why Won't Bamboo Stop?!
Asked by George Irwin:

I tried changing the trigger on my Bamboo plan to Single Daily Build at 18:00. It was set on "Repository triggers build".

Despite having changed the setting, Bamboo still runs my plan every time I push to the repo. I have even deleted the trigger altogether and still Bamboo insists on running my plan every time I push.

I have also removed the link to Bamboo specified in BitBucket......

Can anyone tell me where else in the myriad of settings pages involved between JIRA, Bamboo and BitBucket I can get Bamboo to do what it's told?!

Thanks!


Answers:
author: Gary
body: Hi George,

In the elastic configuration section, there should be a section for automatic elastic instance management. Here, you will want to change the drop down to disabled, and then you can configure the scheduler for your builds to run.

Cheers,

How to use relative paths in executable path?
Asked by Thomas Verh?lsdonk:

I'm trying to add a new executable to my agents capabilities, which is then to be executed by Bamboo's Command-Task. With an absolute path to the executable (C:/.../moc.bat) it works just fine).

But now I want a relative path to my executable, like ${bamboo.project.working.dir}\\...\\moc.bat).   
This, however, won't work in any way that I've tried.

So is it possible to use relative paths as the path to an executable?


Answers:
author: Felipe Kraemer
body: Hi Thomas,

As far as I can understand by reading the corresponding [Bamboo documentation](https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/BAMBOO/Defining+a+new+executable+capability), you must always use the absolute path.
Bamboo Job setup advice
Asked by Rafael Mahnovetskty:

I curently have a bamboo plan with stages setup like so

1. build and test
2. deploy snapshot
3. deploy to dev(manual)
4. deploy to qa(manual)
5. deplo to prod(manual)

How can I setup the job so only certain users who have permission are allowed to deploy to dev, deploy to qa and deploy to prod.. Also I need it so each previous stage must be performed before the next.

If stages had permissions then this would be easy but that is still under development. Can I make it so stages 3,4,5 are also plans and that the are parent plans that must succeed before hand? is there a plugin that can take a password to allow execution?


Answers:
author: Sultan Maiyaki
body: Hi Rafeal,

Yes you are right the stage permission is not yet implemented and I can see you have already commented on the open feature request at <https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/BAM-9613>

I can say that it is logical to create a plan for 3,4,5 that depends on the first plan but still there is an issue of having a condition to decide whether the user can trigger a build or not. I believe this could be possible with a task plugin that can be made a final that can check conditions before triggering a plan

comments: author: Rafael Mahnovetskty

Remote agent not accessing mounted drive
Asked by Abhi Vaishnav [X]:

Hi,

I am running into a error with a job running on a bamboo remote agent not having access to a mounted drive on Windows Server 2008, R2.

The setup is: User Atlassian(which is an admin) has mounted a drive Z:. There are tools on this mounted drive needed by our build system; one of them is a tool that I have defined as a "command" in the bamboo agent.

When a build is kicked off on this agent, the build fails because "The System cannot find the path specified".

I attached a local disk and made it a clone of the mounted drive, changed the command to be defined from the local disk and everything runs fine.

The agent is running as a service under the user Atlassian \[local user\]. When I installed the agent as a service, I ran the java command from a command prompt that was opened with "Run as administrator". Will that make a difference?

How can I get the bamboo jobs to be able to access a mounted drive?
