Can you have Butler post reports as comments?
Asked by Josh R:

I'd like to have automated reports added as comments to a specific card. Report from project board -\> project card in master board.

I thought I saw this before, but I might be crazy. And I know you can send the report as an email or post as a new card. Neither is quite what I'm after.

author: Ludo
body: Hi

You can for example create a board button

And associate this rule

```
create a report in variable "MyReport" with all cards without a due date using pattern "{Cardname}", and create a new card with title "Report card" and description "$MyReport" in list "Report"
```

comments: author: Josh R
body: Hey Ludo,

Thanks for the help, but can the report be added as a comment?


author: Ludo
body: Not with one rule. Because Comment command is available only on card trigger and Report command on calendar or due date or board commands.

But with an additionnel rule, you can translate the description to a comment. For example

```
when a card with a name containing "Report Card"  is added in list "Report", post comment "{carddescription}"
```

Or

```
when a card with a name containing "Report Card" is added in list "Report", find a card titled "Report" on board "masterboard", and?post comment "{triggercarddescription}"
```


author: Josh R
body: Bingo!

For anyone who is reading this is the future and isn't quite grokking what Ludo said, here's the workflow.

You can't go from "generate report via Calendar" straight to "post comment".

Instead:

1. Create a card containing report as the description on the project's board in a list called Reports.
   1. For testing purposes, I used a button but any trigger should work.
2. Create a rule for any cards created in the List "Reports. It finds a specific card on a specific board and posts the Report's description to that card as a comment.

That does double the number of commands per report per project, but 60 still isn't very much.


author: Josh R
body: Wait a sec... are we doing this the hard way? I can email the report from the 1st rule, right? I could email the card, right?


author: Ludo
body: Yes, if you have a paid account. But the report will be present in card description. You still need an additional rule to post a comment.


author: Beth Maxwell
body: [@ludoche](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/2332923) you do not need an additional rule if you are using the card email address. Emailing a card email address adds the email as a comment.

auto add self self as member to board/list?
Asked by Andy Oliver:

Hi,

Just started using Trello, so if this is obvious, I apologize and please send me in the right direction!

I use Trello on my own, not for others. When I create a board, add lists and then cards, is there a way to automatically add myself as a member / the only member.

It seems like more hassle than it should be to create your card then have to add self as member just to be able to actually write your note, every....single.....time.....

Dont know if I'm missing something?

This is the Android app btw, if that makes any difference.

I hope that I have explained my query well enough for you to understand

Thankyou

Welcome to the Community!

Can I ask, if you're the only one using Trello, why do you need to be added to every card?

I use Trello solo as well and I'm not 'on' any cards because the whole board/s is/are mine, so any \& all notification come through to me (as I'm the only one with access), so I was just wondering if there's any reason that you want to be added to each card?

Esme :)

comments: author: Andy Oliver
body: Hi,

I may be using Trello wrong as I'm still learning it. and now it doesn't seem to behave as it did before I posted originally!!

When I set up a board, I then add a list fine. I can then add a card fine, but if I want to add a comment to the card, then it won't let me unless I've added myself as a member.

Today it is allowing me to comment away freely...

So no I feel silly.

Thanks for taking teh time to help me

For example, add a specific label.

Then use this label to filter suscribed cards.

notifications & upload attachments
Asked by judith.huysmans:

Hi! We are using Trello in our team. My colleague (who is not a gold member) is not able to change his notification settings. When he is clicking on his avatar in the top right corner no drop down menu is showing.

Welcome to the Community!

Could I just check that your colleague has confirmed his account? He should have received an email with a confirmation link/button on it. If he hasn't then this may be causing the problem.

Additionally, what role has he been added to the board as?

I look forward to hearing back from you!

You have a wonderful service! Thank you so much for him! Very comfortable.

However, there is one annoyance, when copying a card from one board to another, the checkmarks disappear from the card. Is this a bug or a feature?

And also, I want to ask, is it possible to synchronize the content of the card on different boards? Those. so that the card is one but is displayed on several boards. Is this possible?

Searching for numbers while attaching another Trello card finds nothing
Asked by ToLo:

Hi folks,

my cards almost all have a 6-digit-number in their title.

When search for cards while attaching them to other cards, using this 6-digit-number that is part of the title of other cards does not work. No cards to attach will be found.

Example:

Card Title: "146860 This is a Test"

* Attach Trello card in a different card -\> search for "146860" -\> no cards found
* Attach Trello card in a different card -\> search for "Test" -\> card found

Searching cards from the top left on any board ++does++ work with numbers.

Any idea, why?

Best,

T.


Answers:
author: Mirek
body: Did you try to search with quote around a number? In other words.. Instead simply typing the number 146860 try "146860"?

comments: author: ToLo
body: This is working. More precise: just putting quotes or almost any symbol (+, /, ...) *before* the number reveals matching cards. Why?


author: Mirek
body: It is probably for some purpose. I see that every card have unique ID. If you click on Share on a card you would see it ... Example:

![trello_card_id.png](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/80312i769D48B90FD2A1FD/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "trello_card_id.png")

And if you want to link to the card and type 66 (like the above) you would get the card associated with. So I guess numbers ONLY are reserved for making references to the cards by ID and if you hit something else it recognize that it is not the card ID and it must search in card name.

In your case then you simple must add some symbol and you would get the results. Confusing but maybe that is how it is designed. I would try to reach to someone that might get more precise answer but do not guarantee that this behavior would change.

So you can either start using build in card ID to make references or workaround by adding any symbol to the search before the numbers.

Butler automation when a custom field is "not yet set"
Asked by Angie:

I am trying to set up automation that will add a sticker to a card if a custom field with a drop-down is not set at all. I see how to add automation if the field is set to a certain value, and I can add automation if the value is cleared. But I do not see a way to add automation when a field has not yet been touched either way. In other words, when a card is created with that custom field, it would automatically show a sticker until that field is set one way or another.

Alternatively, I would like to set a field as "required" or "mandatory" so that it cannot be created without some value being set. I do not see a way to do this either.

Thanks for any help.


Answers:
author: Ludo
body: Hi

You can try rules like this

```
when a card without custom fields "MyField" completed is added to the board, add the red label to the card
```

When you are adding card trigger you can add too inclusion or exclusion commands concerning custom fields or other datas (filter icon is present into card trigger)

Concerning mandatory fields see this

Trello - Jira Integration issues
Asked by Suzy Veilleux:

we are trying to hook up the Trello / Jira integration and are running into issues with it recognizing an existing user in Jira. Has anyone else run into this problem? We're wondering if it has to do with Jira being a SSO application and so it's not recognizing the user name and password that have already been set up.

<br />

Also note, the URL that links to our instance of Jira is jira.our-domain.com NOT atlassian.net although when we change the URL to that format it recognizes it. I don't think this matters as I'm pretty sure this is an SSO issue.


Answers:
author: Michael Demetria
body: Are you using Jira Power-up on Trello? This allows you to:

* Link Jira issues to cards, connecting different teams across your organization.
* View important issue information on the detailed card view.
* See if your linked issues are done at glance (from the front of the card)
* Automatically links the Jira issue back to a Trello card so everyone in your team knows how something came to be.
* Quickly jump to your Jira project by creating a link on your board.

When you say it's "not recognizing an existing user in jira"... are you talking about he's having login issues? Also check to see if the user that is not being recognized has a different username (or email with atlassian) in Jira vs. Trello.
What API query will return a set of cards filtered on a label and status of archived over timerange?
Asked by Stephen_Ohimor:

I would like the list of cards that satisfy the following criteria:

* I've set the label to Done (light-blue)
* I've archived the card
* The card was created in the year 2019

**What I've tried so far**

1. Attempted to use the UI but there is a limit of 50 cards per search and I require 300-500 cards. There doesn't appear to be a way to page through results via the UI
2. Signed up for the api and started pulling cards via the following endpoint:
   1. [https://api.trello.com/1/boards/{board_Id}/cards?limit=1000\&label_fields=Done\&key={key}\&token={token](https://api.trello.com/1/boards/{board_Id}/cards?limit=1000&label_fields=Done&key={key}&token={token)}
   2. Note, "Done" won't work because it isn't in the set of enumerations, however, I'm not sure how to filter the cards using the label as there doesn't appear to be anything similar to an "IN" operator.

This is a bit urgent.


Answers:
author: Iain Dooley
body: [@Stephen_Ohimor](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/1953934) You can't search for cards that way using the boards endpoint, but you can use the search endpoint, here's my implementation of it in the Trellinator code:

Is there a way to display lists in more than one row? We're working on a project and it's getting more than one screen wide. It makes it difficult to take it all in at a glance -- and we have some wide monitors!

Welcome to the Community!

If you're using Google Chrome, there are a number of extensions that you can use to customise the way that you see your boards.

You might want to have a quick look at this article by Leah Ryder on her [big list of trello chrome extensions](https://blog.trello.com/big-list-of-trello-chrome-extensions). But the one that might fit the bill for you is the [list layouts for trello](https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/list-layouts-for-trello/aldklnbenbdgfgfbflalmlddkkndgnlc?hl=en-US) which allows you to manipulate how your lists are displayed.

How to move back and forth directly between two boards
Asked by Ramnath_Lakshman:

I am working sometimes intensely between two boards. How to move between boards without coming out of the first board - pressing Trello - again getting into second board


Answers:
author: Esme Crutchley
body: Hi [@Ramnath_Lakshman](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/3717951)

Welcome to the Community!

When I'm working between 2 boards a lot, I have them both open at the same time in different tabs in the same browser, I have 'pinned' the boards that I need open all the time and that way they stay open in my browser (and I don't accidentally close them) so I can flick between them without having to close either one down.

![Screenshot 2020-01-23 at 09.28.12.png](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/80136iDD97E1621772C882/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "Screenshot 2020-01-23 at 09.28.12.png")

If you find that there are 2 boards that you're working intensely in, you could always use 2 bookmarks to easily be able to find them again should you close them by accident. I have set up a Trello folder in my Bookmarks bar where I've bookmarked the ones that I use all the time, so that I don't have to worry about finding them again. Just open another tab, click on the folder and open the next one that I want, without having to close the original one down.

I hope this helps :)
