Set start date using butler
Asked by Sanket Mantri:

Is there a way to set up automatic start date on a card without using a power up ?

Just as we set a due date using butler is there a possibility to set start date as well?

We have a list named 'Working On' and I want to set start date to now when a card is moved to this list.

Under the butler rules the only field available are the custom date fields and the due date field.

Thanks in advance!

author: Vongsawat
body: If you cannot use Custom Fields, and are already using Due Dates,  

And are fine with only logging the Start Date in plaintext, such that you cannot reference that date in the future via Butler (outside of just copying it)  

Then you can do something like Set the description to "Start Date: {datenumber} \\n\\n {carddescription}  

You can find other date formats (and other useful variables) [here](https://help.trello.com/article/1157-variables)  

This solution does mean you cannot then usefully interact with that date anymore in the future via Butler though. So depends on the use-case

How do I add members to my boards without incurring in charges for new subscriptions?

Answers:

Chronos Time tracking power up appears as expired when we upgraded
Asked by Sara Fix:

Today our team upgraded to business class so that we could use Chronos Power-up. This power up shows as enabled (probably because we enabled it for the 14 day free trial). However, on the cards it says that it is expired, and shows a blank screen. Any ideas?

My checklist is being modified by Butler, and I can't figure out why.....??
Asked by Shawna:

I have a Butler command that adds a checklist to a card when I move it from one list to another specified list. My checklist has seven items. Yesterday it added the entire list. Today it is only adding 5 of the seven items, and they are ones in the middle of the list. Can anyone explain what may have caused this modification? Is it something I unknowingly did? Thanks in advance for any help / advice / tips!


Answers:
author: Iain Dooley
body: [@Shawna](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4238736) can you post what your command is, and some screenshots showing the before/after state of the checklists on the card?

comments: author: Shawna
body: My command is:

when a card is added to list "Product - TO DO" by me, add the "QA/QC Checklist" checklist to the card

This is an image of my original checklist:![Checklist.png](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/127712i672E11627249C8C6/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "Checklist.png")

This is my successful move / Butler checklist add:![Checklist - successful.png](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/127711i90B7C1D3DF394E78/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "Checklist - successful.png")

This is a shot of the list where I circled the items that would be missing:

![Checklist - missing items.png](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/127710i1448DE659F07B231/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "Checklist - missing items.png")

I can't recreate the problem now. I went and fixed all the cards that had the incorrect lists, so maybe when I added a new card to the list it pulled from one of the modified checklists...??? So I guess my question now is, how do I make sure it pulls from my original list and not one I have added later and possibly modified?

Thanks again for any and all help!


author: Iain Dooley
body: [@Shawna](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4238736) when you add a checklist you can specify a "from card", then you just have to have a template card that has your clean checklist on it

On one of our boards the butler rules are not showing up from one computer
Asked by Mark Lathrop:

When a team member opens his board and opens butler the rules are not showing up to enable. When I open his board from my computer the rules are there and enabled. The rules that should be enabled are not working on this board.


Answers:
author: Michael Pryor
body: I think the rules are owned by the person, not the board - so you see the rules when you open the board (because they are your rules). You can use command libraries to share the rules, but it sounds like you are trying to figure out why the rules are not working - which is separate from why he doesn't see them.

comments: author: Mark Lathrop

How do I created dependencies between tasks?
Asked by Karin Christiansen:

Can I create a timeline of tasks, where the second/later items dependent on the first/early ones and then the times automatically update. For example if I am doing and analysing a survey and create a timeline the processing, analysis etc, the timeline depends on when I send the survey to them. If I change or update the time of sending the survey can I make everything else that follows automatically adjust? Basically the ghant chart software automatically updates the workflow kinda thing.

Many thanks!


Answers:
author: Steve D'Souza
body: Not native within Trello, but I've used the Placker add-on (<https://placker.com/>) that allows me to do this. It's essentially a Gantt charting tool. Costs about ?7 a month so you'll also have to factor that in.

Agree thought that it would be great to have these sorts of dependencies within Trello itself.


author: milynnus
body: [@Karin Christiansen](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/3881797)

I create a module that can plug into Butler to do a number of things as they relates to dates and change them with a start date, or simply to bump the days.   
<https://youtu.be/PS98D_qOFAw>

comments: author: Karin Christiansen
body: Thanks SGI - doesn't really help in what I am looking for. I think. I am looking for a change in an initial data - aka when we send a survey - to trigger a change in a whole series of other dependent items. If we send the survey 2 days later, that all the dates will automatically change to 2 days later, or better 2 days without weekends.


author: milynnus
body: [@Karin Christiansen](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/3881797)

The 'equivalent' is to bump the dates by x days. How x is determined inside a Butler commands is probably the tricky part. I focus on checklist. It would quite tricky to work with cards as there is no real dependency aside from cardlinks. Hard to figure out how you follow that chain to collect all the right cards to bump the dates.

How to create 'all day' tasks in power-up Calendar ?

Thx

Answers:

I do not understand your question much, it allows you to create tasks for the whole day and places them above first on the specified day or you cannot create tasks for the whole day

Anyway, take a look at this post

<https://blog.trello.com/enable-trello-calendar-mode>

Cheers

comments: author: Meighan Maloney
body: I have this same question, and it is specific to the Calendar Power Up, not the native Trello Calendar view (which the articles you cited refer to).

I want to see the due dates for my Check List items, not just see the card-level information on a calendar (the latter being what the native calendar view does).

The Power up displays the checklist items on a calendar, and syncs into my personal icalendar, but assigns them a random time each day.

I'd like to see all of the checklist items displayed as "all day" events so they are at the top of my calendar.

Right now, there isn't a way to enter lat/lon coordinates in the Map Power-Up -- I've flagged this as a feature request with the team ?

If you have dev resources, you could achieve this [via the API](https://developer.atlassian.com/cloud/trello/rest/api-group-cards/#api-cards-id-put) and ensure you're passing **coordinates** with your request.

I hope that helps!

Time dependent workflows
Asked by Jonathon Mannion:

Hi, I'm brand new to trello - started today - and im looking for some help.

I'm looking to create a series of tasks that hang off an initial start date.

The tasks will have all have different due dates, but they all cascade down in sequence from the initial start.

Because the workflows are repeated annually for each client i also need the ability to either change the start date next year, or commence the same workflow from scratch in around 12 months time. any suggestions on articles or how to guides?

thanks in advance, Jono

Thanks for reaching out!

It might be worth exploring the [Card Repeater Power-Up](https://help.trello.com/article/1068-using-the-card-repeater-power-up), which allows you to copy a card every day, week, month or year, so you can get recurring tasks.

Additionally, you could explore setting up [scheduled commands](https://help.trello.com/article/1198-an-intro-to-butler#Scheduled-Commands) in Butler (i.e. every year, do XYZ).

Let me know if that helps, or if you have any questions!

Butler rule
Asked by Pawel Smuga:

I want to create a rule for a board where every time I add a label to the card it then adds the current title of the list to the description, and then moves that card to a specific list (entitled gone) and stops actions at that point. Actually if possible I'd also like to remove the location powerup for that card.

For background each card is a lead, in a list with the title of the quarter that lead came in. If we lose the business of that lead I don't want to archive it, I want to move it to a list called gone/lost/dead etc.

Thanks!


Answers:

Making the card title an URL
Asked by olivieretvincent testsite:

Dear all,

I'm looking to make cards that link to external content. currently I'm using the following markdown syntax in the card description :

\[describing text\](url)

but to simplify the operation I would like to make the title a clickable link or even better the cover picture.

any idea on how to do it?

many thanks in advance


Answers:
author: Michael Pryor
body: Coming soon! Check back in a month.


author: David Bakkers
body: You're out of luck. The card title field is rendered as plain text only. It does not support rendering markdown or HTML into hyperlinks.

If you really must have that functionality, you're going to have to build it yourself, probably using a browser side tool like JQuery to parse the page content to look for the card titles, find the markup code and dynamically change it in the page's DOM.

This is a similar method to how Chrome extensions like [Pro for Trello](https://apptorium.net/pro-for-trello) convert markup in card titles on the browser side.

Can I create a butler command with 2 triggers?
Asked by Paula Granelli:

Hi guys, I have the need to put in an AND command into Butler. ie When custom field Branch = North AND custom field Species = Reptile, THEN populate custom field Coordinator with MemberName and assign the card to MemberName

I have about 80 combinations based on the coordinators who have pervue over animal rescues in the Sydney area. Currently we use a dropdown to fill out the Branch and Species, then manually consult a matrix to determin who the Coordinator is, type that into the Text Field and assign the card to that member. It would be great to streamline.

Any good ideas?

Paula.


Answers:
author: Felix
body: Hey [@Paula Granelli](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4237407)

You can set this up using the little "filter" (funnel) icon on the trigger.

It'd look something like this:

![Screen Shot 2021-01-26 at 9.44.41 AM.png](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/127413i0FA5BE748C4270CF/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "Screen Shot 2021-01-26 at 9.44.41 AM.png")

Note that if the rule is set up like this, **Branch** has to be set *after* **Species** for the rule to trigger (because the rule will only trigger based on the Branch field being set, and is conditional on the Species field already having the value "Reptile".

Because you have so many different combinations, it might make sense to set up your rules a little differently though.

I'd suggest a setup like this:

* Create a list with a card for each "combination". For example: "North - Reptile". Assign the responsible coordinator to those cards.
* Create 2 Butler rules like the following:

![Screen Shot 2021-01-26 at 10.12.45 AM.png](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/127436i1864252D34B929CA/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "Screen Shot 2021-01-26 at 10.12.45 AM.png")

With that setup, whenever either of the custom fields is set, and both custom fields are filled out, Butler will look up the card matching both those fields, and assign the relevant coordinator to the card.

The benefit of this is that it's easy to swap out the coordinators, if there's vacations or something. You won't need to go in and update a bunch of Butler rules.   
With this setup, you'd also be able to have multiple coordinators for a single combination, and assign cards to them in order, as they come in.

Here's what an example board setup would look like:

![Screen Shot 2021-01-26 at 10.18.31 AM.png](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/127439i132C49A65D5735B6/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "Screen Shot 2021-01-26 at 10.18.31 AM.png")

Hope this helps,

Felix

comments: author: Paula Granelli
body: Thank you so much Felix. This has worked beautifully and while I am still working through putting in the rules (all 80 of them), it is a good solution and will help us enormously.

How do I make the next recurring task due date show up instead of the green completed task?
Asked by Steven Deheeger:

Hi, All!

I have a recurring weekly task on Fridays called "review schedule for upcoming week." When I complete the task on Fridays, the due date does not update to the following Friday. Rather, all I see is the green completed checkmark icon with date I completed the task, and I see this indefinitely.

**How do I make recurring task date automatically update to the next time it's due upon completion?**

Thank you in advance for any support!

Much appreciated,

Steven


Answers:
author: Lara
body: Hi Steven,

Thanks for reaching out!

If you'd like to set up a recurring Due Date, you'll want to set up a Butler rule.

Here's an example rule:

![Image 2021-01-29 at 3.11.02 pm.png](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/127950i7EBE0CCCFBAEF7BA/image-dimensions/680x503?v=v2 "Image 2021-01-29 at 3.11.02 pm.png")

You can adjust the rule so it only triggers when you complete a *specific* card's Due Date.

I hope that helps! Let me know if you have any further questions.

All the best,

Is it possible to import due dates from cards into a cal, but not advanced checklist item due dates?
Asked by A:

I like to import my card due dates from my Trello board into my calendar - but with the introduction of due dates on advanced checklist items, the import is a bit overwhelming!

Thanks for your help!


Answers:

It's not clear from your post if you want to import due date data INTO a Trello card or FROM a Trello card into something, as you're using the word 'import' in both contexts.

author: David Bakkers
body: OK, so you want to EXPORT a Trello card's due date so that you can IMPORT that data into a calendar somewhere.

You could just export the whole board from Trello as a CSV file. That contains all the cards and their due dates. Selectively import that CSV data into your calendar application.
