How can I update a linked checklist item when a checklist card is moved with Butler?
Asked by Ziri Rideaux:

Hello. I have set up Butler to create checklist item cards from each checklist item on cards on a certain board.

I set it up so that when I click the checklist item on the card, the corresponding checklist item card is moved to the "Done" column. I have also set it up so that when a checklist item is unchecked, that the corresponding checklist item card is moved back into the "To Do" column.

**My question is, how can I update the checklist item simply by moving the checklist item card?**

For example, if I move the checklist item card to "Done", how can I trigger the corresponding checklist item to be checked? And vice versa if a card is moved out of the "Done" column to uncheck the checklist item.

A small note: I change the name of the checklist item cards to be {triggercardname} - {cardname} so that it references the parent card and the checklist item. For example, if I have a card called "Case #1" with a checklist from which checklist item cards are made, the checklist item cards are renamed "Case #1 - To do item #1" etc.

I mention this in case any solution requires checking the name of the card. Thanks.

Thanks!


Answers:
author: Vongsawat
body: Assuming that the card name is always in a Case #1 - item #1 format, as in it will only ever have the one - in the middle:  

When a card with a name starting with "{\*} - {\*}" is moved in to list "Done", find card named "{wildcard1}", check checklist item "{triggercardlink}"  

However, as Butler cannot distinguish between actions made by you and actions made by Butler, this rule and the first rule will recursively trigger each other foreverrr. Which lags out Butler for a bit before it notices. Which means that you'd need to modify all the rules so that, whenever Butler is going to check an item or move a card between these lists, to add and then later remove something like a "Butlering" label. Then make all the triggers only trigger on cards that *dont* have a Butlering label.

Habit Tracker by Upgrade Your Brain does not have "repeat habit" to click in cards
Asked by Pam:

I am trying to set up a Habit Tracker in Trello using the Habit Tracker power up from Upgrade Your Brain.

The instructions say for Step 1 to create a card for a habit. Step 2 is to then click on "Repeat Habit" in the open card. However, "Repeat Habit" is not there.

Please advise.

Thank you


Answers:
author: Pam
body: I am on Chrome.

Curious, I logged into Firefox and the "repeat habit" is available.

I saved the card after I clicked on "repeat habit" and marked the days to repeat it.

When I go to Trello in Chrome, the card is not updated however.

I would still like to be able to use Chrome.

Using custom fields and Butler, how do I multiply a value?
Asked by Rich Kingsford:

Hi I'm trying to set a custom field so it multiplies the value of a different custom field by .06. Addition (+) works, but multiplication (\*) doesn't.

Thanks!

Answers:
author: Ryan
body: Hi Rich,

Unfortunately it isn't possible to do this sort of formula with the Custom Fields Power-up. In that case, I'd recommend that you try out the [SmartFileds Power-up](https://trello.com/power-ups/5e2212c3ba57415ef2ef9352/smartfields)which allows you to do calculations with the values in your fields.

Have a great week!

comments: author: vertikaldienst
body: On this Butler Help page:

<https://help.trello.com/article/1160-custom-field-variables#custom-field-arithmetic>

...it says:

When setting the "Number" custom field, you can perform basic arithmetic operations such as addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. You can also use numeric constants and parentheses to group arithmetic expressions.

But unfortunately it doesnt list examples

How do I multiply? I try to do this:

when custom field "SUM" is checked, set custom field "TOTAL" to "({{%Field 1}} \* 4.2) + ({{%Field 2}} \* 2.5)"

But it doesnt work?

Thanks

author: Brittany Joiner
body: [@v?tor mour?o](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/1156822) i don't know if butler alone would work because i don't think you can apply rules retroactively, but you could create a new label called "remove due date", make a butler rule to remove the due date from any cards with that label, and THEN use the Bulk Actions Power-Up to apply that label to all the cards on your board.


author: Antonio Panea
body: Hi [@v?tor mour?o](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/1156822) ,

Thanks for reaching the community!

I guess you could do it with Butler. Look for a Time Trigger that ends in an action or removing due dates! That should work!

Thanks in advance!

Is there a way to have links to other cards in a Board, that update correctly to a new copied Board?
Asked by Daniel Lathen:

Is there a way to have links to other cards in a Board, that then do NOT get screwed up when you make a copy of the Board? Ex: Link in Card A to card B, then after I copy the Board card A of the NEW Board will automatically link to Card B of the NEW Board rather than card B of the old one?  

If not, I need a workaround that will let me be able to copy many boards from a Master Template, and have each of the new boards have correct, fully internal links to other cards within themselves, WITHOUT having to manually go in to every link in every copy to correct their links.


Answers:
author: Jillian Amyot _Unito_
body: Hi [@Daniel Lathen](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4027107)

You can use Unito to mirror two Trello boards that will automatically sync when each board gets updated. Here is a link that offers up some information on how it works. Hope this helps!

comments: author: Daniel Lathen
body: Thank you but I'm not really looking for syncing....more looking for a way to get links on copies of Boards to change their referenced links correctly. The cards on the different boards should NOT be identical, because that would mean one of them is linking to a different Board, rather than itself.


author: Brittany Joiner
body: [@Daniel Lathen](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4027107) Hmm, i don't think so because i don't know how it would know which is card B on new board B. What are you trying to achieve here? There might be another workaround that doesn't involve it having to know which cards to link.

author: Brittany Joiner

Calendar
Asked by R?ta Tij?nelyt?:

Answers:
author: Andy Gladstone
body: [@R?ta Tij?nelyt?](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4666912) Calendars, as you probably already know from your post, are only available on Premium. There are a number of free apps in the Marketplace you could use, but each of those apps generally require you to maintain and edit the calendar outside of Confluence, with the data and detail being displayed in Confluence.

I have not used this, but know others that have and felt it was able to do what you are looking for:

Point out certain pages after clicking on a certain link/button/menu
Asked by Harald Heinz:

Hi,

we want to build a new space with a hub/landing page that *suggests* or *points out* a certain set of pages in this space after a user clicks on a link (preferably in form of a tile or button menu layout).   

Restrictions won't do as they just change the view and edit rights and everyone should at least be able to see everything. We want to have the suggestion aspect or better said "lead" certain users to certain content.

Is this possible to implement?  
Best regards,


Answers:
author: Brant Schroeder
body: [@Harald Heinz](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4623776) we have a space that we constructed a hierarchy in to help guide users to specific topics. The main page helps organize the content into general sections and the additional content underneath each section. Everything is open and users are able to navigate through all areas. We also have a search embedded on the main page.

comments: author: Harald Heinz
body: [@Brant Schroeder](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/769100) how did you do the "guiding" aspect in your hierarchy?

To be more specific about our use case: We want to create a hub page where users can click e.g. on a tile (little png as link) to be shown a preselection of pages. That tile is their company project role, e.g. feature owner.

To solve this, we could create a secondary hub page for the respective role, presenting the preselected content pages from the space as links.

But I hoped for a simpler solution.


author: Brant Schroeder
body: [@Harald Heinz](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4623776)

We just have all of our pages in a single space. We have a main page that has clickable links by role (Developer, Manager, Project Manager, Analyst, etc). In the space we have setup the page hierarchy like so:

* Welcome
  * General Information
    * Article Page
    * Article Page
  * Analyst
    * Article Page
    * Article Page
  * Developer
    * Article Page
    * Article Page

If a user clicks on the Analyst link on the main page they are taken to the analyst page that lists all the analyst sub-pages and relevant pages through associated labels. We use labels to help cross reference pages that apply to multiple areas. Are area is open and not locked down by role in the organization.

It's not the problem with Confluence Site. It may be a browser problem or just remove the colon and check

Problem is on iOS 15.2.1 with the Confluence Cloud 3.17.0 app. I assume it utilizes a build-in browser.

Page property report - page break issue
Asked by Martin:

Hi all,

our knowledge base is structured by a header, holding page properties to be filled by authors.

On of those is a property which tells the author to create a task for himself for 1 year in the future to recheck the page if still valid.

The property has a page break to explain the content a bit in brackets in a new line (of course within one table-cell.

I realize that obviously it is not possible to show specifically that column in a page property report. I assume the page break is preventing the report from working.

Does anyone have an idea how to overcome that apart from changing the property to a onliner.

Thanks!

Martin

If you use our [Table Filter and Charts for Confluence](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/27447/table-filter-and-charts-for-confluence?tab=overview&hosting=server&utm_source=atl_community) app, you may hide the unwanted columns of the Page Properties Report macro via the [Table Filter](https://docs.stiltsoft.com/display/public/TFAC/How+to+use+Table+Filter+macro?utm_source=atl_community) macro' settings.

I assume that you have all the columns if you leave the "Columns to show" field blank but can't retrieve the specific heading.

Yes indeed that is my current workaround. I leave the columns to show blank and get all data. But I require at least sorting, which is also only possible in the output together with the irrelevant columns.

The unfortune is, that I'm not authorized to use apps. So the mentioned one is no option for my setup.

comments: author: Martin
body: [@Pramodh M](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/3691224) Thanks for the reply. The issue is not that the report cannot find the page property id. That works. It is just that the heading cannot be found if I put that in the "columns to show".

A short one for the experts ;)

If it's possible to create a page from a template with confiForms also if the template isn't placed on the same space?

For example: \[template.SPACEKEY.NAME OF THE TEMPLATE\]?
