How to move multiple trello cards to another list?
Asked by Ton Bil:

Moving one card, all cards from a list or even a whole list is easy.  

But every now and then I want to move from 3 to up to 30 cards from one list to another (on the same board, or to another board).  

How can I do this?  

If it's impossible: should I mail this question to feature-ideas@trello.com ?

There's not a way to select individual cards to be moved, so that would be a feature request as you suggested.

However, there may be a workaround using labels and ButlerBot Automation. Essentially, this could go as follows, using a red label named **Move** and a list named **Move** as an example:

command: *when a red "move" label is added to a card, move the card to list "move"*

Then, any time you add a red "move" label to a card, it will move to the list "move". Then, you can move the entire list "move" over to your new board. To easily assign the label to a card, you can use the [keyboard shortcut number](http://help.trello.com/article/797-adding-labels-to-cards) associated with that label (1-9).

To add custom automation using Butlerbot, follow these steps:

1) Add Butlerbot to your board here: <https://www.butlerfortrello.com/dashboard.html>  
-- A new list will be created titled "Butler"  
2) Add a new card to the Butler list using the command mentioned above. Once the command is accepted, you will see a green checkbox on that card, and then the automation will begin for every label added afterwards.

body: Thanks for the try, but with moving the cards individually takes less effort than labeling them and setting up the butler bot.

body: Yes - these basic feature requests and need to purchase Power Ups for basic functionality is super frustrating to use for small business - especially in touch C19 times...


author: Michael Sheasby
body: agreed with Ailon \& Darryl - if Trello's job is to move cards between lists, then moving a lot of cards is a pretty basic use case and should be handled both gracefully and without requiring additional tools.

body: I can't believe this has been requested for YEARS and still isn't a feature in Trello. How do we get them to implement this??

For me, I have a list with say 20 cards in it and I need to move a few at a time to different lists on different boards. So I have to click "move" then select the board then select the list and repeat this over and over and over until I'm done. I have to do this multiple times a day and it's SUCH A WASTE OF TIME.

Come on, Trello. Get on this!!
