My board button requires a screen refresh to work. How do I get around this?
Asked by Linda Burke:

My six "area" boards link to Google calendars. I use the combined calendar to time-block the day, then I go through the six boards and run a button that moves all cards due today to a "Today" board, and I use the Calendar power-up on my phone as a to-do checklist. (It's not as complicated as it sounds.) Recently, the Windows version of Trello has required me to refresh the screen before running the board button. It's a small but irritating extra click. Have I set it up incorrectly? Here's the command:

copy each card due today to list "TODAY" on board "?Today"

Thanks for reaching out!

Hmm, that definitely sounds strange.

Could you please uninstall the Trello Windows app and install it again, but make sure to follow the instructions here:

* <https://support.atlassian.com/trello/docs/how-to-uninstall-the-trello-desktop-app/>

I know this is a very general suggestion, but it helps us narrow down the investigation by making sure you have the most recent version of the app and that there is no leftover data from previous versions.

Please test it after reinstalling, and we can continue investigating from there, if the issue persists.

All the best,

body: I was using the web version, but I installed the app and it happens there too. If I close a board and reopen it, I'm able to run the automation.

Thanks for trying.

I haven't been able to replicate the issue. Can you please confirm if the issue persists when you use a different browser (including incognito/private window)?

Can you also send me a screenshot of the board button in question?

body: My bug is a little different. It happens both in the app and in the web version, and the button is always visible - it just doesn't do anything.

Here's a screenshot of the button.

Just to confirm, does the board button appear as expected?

Can you please click on the board button and if it doesn't work, please check the activity log to see if there are any errors. Here's how to access the activity log: <https://support.atlassian.com/trello/docs/opening-the-command-log/>
