Butler Card Buttons 'Close Card' selection not working
Asked by MC:

When creating a Butler Card Button and selecting the option to Close Card, when the card button is clicked, it successfully performs the Action(s), but doesn't close the card. I've tried deleting the button and recreating new buttons, clearing out browser cookies and cache, etc., with no luck. This issue occurs on all boards, and there are no errors in the Command log.

Any ideas?

Thanks!

That function is not working with me either, my card just stays there.

Community manager **please**, do not answer "I just tested this and it works for me", that's not how software developement works.

FYI "works for me" has been a resolution in bug tracking software since time immemorial. Reproducing a problem is exactly how software development works.

author: Dirk Hofmann
body: Yes, that is what I mean.


author: Iain Dooley
body: [@Dirk Hofmann](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4069163) as above, I just tested this and it works for me, I'd recommend doing a screencast with loom.com showing the behaviour and submitting it to trello support by going to trello.com/contact and submitting the question to trello rather than to the community (you'll need to scroll past their automated suggestions to get to the button to submit your question to the trello team).

Anyway...

I don't have an answer but can confirm Butler is NOT closing cards when the action is complete. I have been using Butler for a while and I can tell you that this used to work. It only recently stopped working.

I only have a free account, so I cannot report this to Support.

body: [@MC](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/3451120) In what sense are you trying to close the card? Do you mean archive the card or close the card back view (ie. the same as pressing the escape key or closing with the "X" in the top right)

body: Hi,

Trying to close the card back view.

Thank you.


author: Iain Dooley
body: [@MC](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/3451120) okay I can see this option now, I just tested it and it worked, I'd recommend taking a screencast using useloom.com and emailing to support@trello.com
