Link cards becoming normal cards because of Butler
Asked by Thibault Molleman:

Hi,

So I noticed a problem. When creating one of those new link cards (where you just add a url to a list and it becomes a link), if you have a butler command setup that automatically adds (in my case) a custom field value to it. Then it turns that card into a normal card.

And when I then remove then remove the custom field, it still stays a normal card.

So the only way on that board I can create a link card is by temporarily disabling that command..

Any other solution for this?


Answers:
author: Michael Pryor
body: Not right now, but eventually we'll be able to fix this. Right now if you add anything to the card, it will revert to normal card. But we will be changing that where it can be both at the same time.

comments: author: Thibault Molleman
body: Is there a timeline on this? (next month, next quarter. End of the year?)


author: Iain Dooley
body: [@Michael Pryor](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/1131556) does that apply to cards created via the API also? Currently if I create a card named with only a link (or a card named with a board link) via the API it doesn't turn it into a "link card" or a "board card". I'm particularly interested in this feature for linking/synching cards when you release it, so I hope you're able to roll it out for the API too!

See label colours on cards (without having to click on them)
Asked by EsmeeH:

Hi!   

I used to have an option turned on in my Trello that allowed me to see the label colours on my cards, so for example if I had card "A" with label green, I would see a rectange with A on the left side, and a little green line on the right side of the card.   

This was very useful for me, as it allowed me to see which tasks where done and which not in a splitsecond.   

However, at some point this just disappeared, and I have no idea how to turn it on again...Any ideas?   

Thanks very much in advance!


Answers:
author: Sulaiman Abubakar Salihu
body: Hey [@EsmeeH](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4281316) Here's a few things you can try

1. If you are using the Trello extension in your browser you can try disabling it.
2. Clear your browser cache.
3. Also Pressing the semicolon key ";" shows or hides the names of labels on aboard. You can also click any label on a board to toggle this.   
   Let me know if that helps

comments: author: EsmeeH
body: Hi Sulaiman,   

The ";" key did it for me! I had no idea that such a shortcut key existed.   

Thank you very much!

Daily To Do List
Asked by Betsy Knoche:

I have created a Daily To Do List Board and for the most part, the Calendar Rules are working well. But, there are a couple of quirks. I have a Daily Tasks List and a Weekly Tasks List. I have a calendar rule at 1:00 a.m. every day to copy the cards from my Daily Tasks list to To Do Today. That is working fine. I also have tasks that need to be done weekly on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. My rule says Every Friday (for instance) at 1:00 a.m. copy "Name of Card" to To Do Today. But the card moves to the Backlog list not the To Do Today List. I also have a rule for every day at 1:00 am, move all the cards in list "To Do Today" (that were not completed) to list "B A C K L O G". Is there a conflict with those rules of which I am unaware? Why are my weekly tasks copied to the Backlog List and not the To To Today List?


Answers:
author: Felix
body: Yeah, you probably have a conflict there.

You need to tell Butler to run the "To Do Today -\> Backlog" rule **before** the "Copy 'name of card' -\> To Do Today".

Otherwise Butler will just copy the card to "To Do Today", and then move it promptly in the Backlog.

Set up one rule to run at 1AM and the other to run a 2AM, that should fix it.

Issues with the home page
Asked by Ernesto B. Andujar:

We have a business account and we are experiencing major lag issues on the "Home" page. We used the "items' section a lot to determine what we have assigned for the day.

How can I create an e-mail template to be sent based on an e-mail field
Asked by Filipe Andrade:

I would like to automate the mailing process using the email information/ field I have in a card.

I.e., I created a job application form with hipporello which generates cards. When screening the candidates/cards I would like to send automated e-mails - e.g., "I cannot consider you". Anyone any thoughts?

Note: Butler has an email function but it seems like it is hardcoded - i.e., not a variable

Best

Filipe


Answers:
author: mustafa sener _Hipporello_
body: Hi [@Filipe Andrade](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4280850) ,

Hipporello supports this via automation. You can define an automation rule for your form and for example, send an auto email notification when the card is moved from one list to another.


author: milynnus
body: [@Filipe Andrade](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4280850)

Using a card button is probably the easiest if the info is on the card. Disclaimer : if they from a Power Up you might have some difficulties getting access. They are usually stored as card.plugindata, formatted attachment, etc.

Using Trello for meetings with people outside our organisation
Asked by Edward Patey:

Hi there,

I would like to use a Trello List to record meeting actions for people outside our organization. I tried to do this today using the share option, but it appears that people cant see the list without having an account.

Basically I just want to give people attending a meeting access to view the meeting notes / actions on a specific card (ideally without being able to see the rest of the board)...and so they have a record of what was discussed. I'm sure there is way of doing this without having to pay a subscription for each person attending...(??) but I cant seem to find it.

Any assistance gratefully received and apologies if I'm being dense! Ed


Answers:
author: Dan Ivory
body: Hi [@Edward Patey](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4258921)

We have a Power-Up called Board Export that you could use to export your board in Excel, CSV, PDF, or image formats to share the board details.

<https://trello.com/power-ups/5c9418019e56bd8abf98d83f/board-export>

Here's a quick video to show you how it works for excel/csv (this can also be done without a Power-Up if you have Trello Business Class - Also shown in the video).

Hope that helps,

comments: author: Edward Patey
body: Thanks Dan.

So if I need a power up...question is, can i arrange this only for me, rather than the whole team?

It is only me who needs it...so i'm loathed to pay for every user to have this function.

It all starts getting very expensive...and is kind of putting me off Trello if this is the only way of doing it. Thanks Ed


author: Dan Ivory
body: Hi [@Edward Patey](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4258921)

Yes the Power-Up is priced per user so you can buy a license just for just yourself and use it on any board you like. This can be used on Trello's free pricing plan though you will only have access to one Power-Up per board.

Thanks,

Trello export accents
Asked by Maxime Michon:

Hello,

We write our cards in french so we use many ?, ? etc.. but when we export our boards they all turn into badly translated characters like "??" for ?, "??" for ?...

Is there a way to get an export with them staying like they are ?


Answers:
author: Felix
body: Hey [@Maxime Michon](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4280603)

I just tested these characters with Trello's board export (in JSON and CSV format) and the team export, and in both cases the characters are correctly encoded in the resulting files for me.

Maybe it's a problem with whatever you are using to view the exported data?

Getting date stamp to parent page for child page date updates
Asked by Finn:

Hello- I have a parent page with many child pages and I used this parent page for weekly reporting. Any updates made on child page will capture on parent page so I all I need to do is copy the contents from parent page to reporting templates and do weekly reporting.

But since there are many peoples working on child pages, I have to reach out everyone to make sure their updates are done. To save my time and follow ups with peoples, I am thinking that if I can add a "date stamp" colum to the parent page and get updates from child page, means who ever make updates on child page I need to get the date of updated as well. Is it possible?

Please advise. Thank you!

body: Hi [@Finn](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4987868) ,

If you work with multiple-row tables that you need to collect from child pages into one master report, we can suggest trying our [Table Filter and Charts for Confluence](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/27447/table-filter-and-charts-for-confluence?tab=overview&hosting=cloud&utm_source=atl_community&utm_medium=answer&utm_campaign=table-filter-traffic-sources&utm_vendorID=1216111) app and its [Table Excerpt/Table Excerpt Include](https://docs.stiltsoft.com/display/public/TFAC/How+to+use+Table+Excerpt+and+Table+Excerpt+Include+macros?utm_source=atl_community&utm_medium=answer&utm_campaign=table-filter-traffic-sources&utm_vendorID=1216111) macros.

Besides the creation of the combined report, you'll be able to show such meta data as "updated" and "last modifier".

And you may even filter the report based on the "updated" date and see what pages are out-of-date.

Hope it helps your case.


author: Bill Bailey
body: Hello [@Finn](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4987868). If you are on the server version and are capable of writing user macros, yes you can get that info.

To get access to a Confluence system, you usually need to ask the owners / administrators.

Could you explain what "cohesion analyser" is?
