Can a team create/send cards to other team boards?
Asked by Der Maschinenraum:

There are teams with boards.

Can team "IT" from board "PROJECT1" send cards to team "MARKETING" board "PROJECT1" without being admin/boardmanager?


Answers:
author: Mike
body: Hi there,

In order to move a card from one board to another, the person initiating the move, unfortunately, needs to be a member of the target board---as I understand what you're describing, you'd like to be able to move a card without that being necessary, is that right?

That's not currently possible, but I'll make sure the team knows that's something you'd like to see in the future!

comments: author: Der Maschinenraum
body: Thank you for the quick answer!

You got it.

So, i will wait. Go Trello Team ;-)

Best way to use Trello for projects that renew annual (in our case an event)
Asked by Jessica Eshleman:

How are you using Trello for projects that repeat each year?

Our economic development group hosts an annual event. In 2018, we planned it in trello and will again in 2019.

I'm looking for tips on how to do this most efficiently:

- Copy the Board and use complicated labels?

- Copy the Board and add more lists?

- Something else?


Answers:
author: Chris Whitehead
body: You could try the Butler power-up here: <https://trello.com/b/rneq6xS2/ba-assignments-2019/power-up/5935cab6b26816f9d49fd814>

I think this will help you set the same cards to renew or be copied automatically, amongst other useful tasks.

I don't use it myself but I've just been looking into power-ups and that should help.
Auto set time on new Trello cards
Asked by Dane:

When you create a new Trello card, you have to set a due date and time. Is there a way to not have a time or auto set for the same time no matter when you add the new card?


Answers:
author: Esme Crutchley
body: Hi Dane,

This can be accomplished using the Butler Power-Up and making a rule.

The trigger should be 'when a card is added to the board' and then you can pick whatever time you like by clicking on the little clock icon and picking from a number of things that they give you:

![Screenshot 2019-10-17 at 18.44.57.png](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/69823iB8446F3248AD824E/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "Screenshot 2019-10-17 at 18.44.57.png")You can alter anything with a box around it, so you can change the hours or Next Monday or anything like that.

Hope that's helpful

Extending Checklists with a Power-Up
Asked by JetUni:

Currently we're using checklists for a test plan in one of our Trello cards. This is very limited as we're unable to mark any of the tests as failed. I was thinking that it would be cool to create a Power-Up that could allow for check marks and an X depending on whether the test passed or failed. Is it possible to extend the built-in check lists with a Power-Up? And if so, how is it done?


Answers:
author: Brittany Joiner
body: You can use [Butler](https://trello.com/power-ups/5935cab6b26816f9d49fd814/butler) to create cards based on actions that happen to items in a checklist.

Alternatively, you could use [Custom Fields Power-Up](https://help.trello.com/article/1067-using-the-custom-fields-power-up) to be able to add text or numbers or anything you like to specific objects/fields on a card. For example, you could have a custom field for "test name" and it be a text field that let you add a check or a "x" or even a note about status of a test. You could also use a drop down field that let you select "check" or "x".
Cannot open Trello URL hyperlinks in checklist via iPhone

body: Hmm this seems like a bug. I would try reaching out to support@trello.com . In the mean time, you could also attach links to the card itself.
Adding Multiple Contacts on a Card
Asked by Ted&Co Office:

I'm using the Contalist Powerup to list contacts on each deal card. How can I add multiple contacts so I can see them on the card?


Answers:
author: Mike
body: Hi Valerie,

Great question---as a third-party Power-Up, their own support team is probably best placed to answer this question, rather than Trello's. They'll be much better able to support their own product! You can reach them via <https://contalist.com/>
New to Trello - working with a client
Asked by Natasha Buckland:

Hi, hope someone can clarify whether I need to have my own Trello account to view and work on my Client's Trello account or if we can both log in to their account. I know this is probably a silly question. Thanks


Answers:
author: Jim Schwilk
body: I would just have your client share the board in question with you. If you want to see all their boards I believe you would need to be a gold user to share more than one with the same person. I know its possible to log into the same account from multiple computers but I'm not sure that is allowed or suggested under the account agreement as I haven't studied it very well. I would think you would need to have different accounts and share the boards as designed.

comments: author: Natasha Buckland
body: Thanks Jim. I'd be setting up their account as they don't use Trello. It was my idea as we can start using it as a basic CRM amongst other things. I am just not sure if it matters whose account the boards are set up in - ie with their client details? I"m thinking of whether in the future when I am no longer working with them, can I delete the boards in my account... Can they just save them onto theirs? Is it that simple, do you know? Thanks


author: Jim Schwilk
body: If you create it in their account and invite yourself to it, they control the settings of that board and can un-invite you to it at anytime. If you create it and they are invited you control that permission. They can copy the board and then do what they want with it if for some reason they are no longer your client anymore.


author: Natasha Buckland
body: Great, thanks for your help


author: Brittany Joiner
body: Easiest solution is for them to invite you to a board and you both have your own login - better for security purposes. And if it's because they have Business class, then you should be able to participate in any boards they are using Business class features on, even with your own login.

comments: author: Natasha Buckland
body: Makes sense. They don't Trello so I'd be setting it up for them. Think the free version is fine for now. Do you know if it matters from which account boards etc are set up in?

Thanks


author: Brittany Joiner
body: I'd create it from the one you want to have the most control - probably your account. When you are invited to board, you wont have admin ability to close/delete a board, I believe on the creator can do that.


author: Natasha Buckland
body: Thanks Brittany!
customizing a card -- lock description field, hide buttons
Asked by m.linke:

Hi, is it possible to control the permission to change the description field, so that e.g. only the person that opens a card can make changes?

Task Ownership
Asked by Aggie@ Branderbee:

Hi,

I love Trello! Maybe this feature is available already as an add-on?  
THE FEATURE WE NEED: Task Ownership System - our company works on small web design tasks which need to be done quickly. i have a pool of designers who can complete tasks. I need to be able to post a brief and send to all at once. the first person to pick up the task will get to do it. But once picked up it needs to be obvious to others that its been taken and no longer available to work on? Any ideas how we could do this with Trello?


Answers:
author: Mirek
body: Hmm.. The simplest solution that I can suggest is to create a first column as a backlog and rest of them should be your owners (every column is a owner), so your team members go to the board check backlog and simply drag and drop card to their column name - then starting to work on it and once it is done move it to very last column that could be named as "Done".

Other people see who is working on what and I think nobody should drag an item that is already taken by someone else.

Business class but can't copy board
Asked by Rachel Provan:

I have a hybrid account where I started with my personal Trello account, but have added my work email and have received business class. I am trying to copy a Trello board called Team Organization Central. It's one of the boards suggested under business class, but I can't seem to copy it.

I click "Copy Board", add a name and indicate that it is part of my company's team boards. But when I click "Create", it gives an error message in the upper right hand corner that reads, "Unable to create board". I have tried this with several different boards but can't seem to get it to work. ![Screen Shot 2019-10-14 at 9.31.26 pm.png](/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/69384iE6E3BDE0AB0F8D67/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "Screen Shot 2019-10-14 at 9.31.26 pm.png")


Answers:
author: Mike
body: Hi Rachel,

Is it possible that you're trying to copy this template board over to one of your secondary free teams, and not the primary Business Class team? We'd be happy to help investigate and look into what's happening here via <https://trello.com/contact>!

comments: author: Rachel Provan
body: No it's definitely to my company's board. I got a notification from someone from Trello saying that it's a known issue, but it seems surprising as I have had this issue for awhile...
Butler Board Button: Perform activity for whoever clicks the button?
Asked by Cam:

I am diving into the Butler reporting functionality and setting up some quick reports for the team, but I cant seem to get this use case nailed down:

Ideal state/story:

When Sue goes to trello, sue can click the "My Report" button that creates a report showing her where every card Sue is assigned is, including things like column, and custom fields we have to manage our team. The button would email Sue directly.

When Bob goes to trello, the exact same "My Report" button could execute the same thing. Emailing Bob. etc...

**The underlining feature/question is butler knowing who clicked the button and all of the actions taken are {buttonclicker}. Each item being able to search for cards {buttonclicker} is assigned, and eventually email the report to {buttonclicker} as the last step.**

I know I can already get the report for sue setup and create a "Sue's Report" button, but I would rather not have a button for each team member.

I also know I can create a button with each team members assigned cards and status, but I am not wanting that view at this time.


Answers:
author: Mike
body: Hi Cam,

Great question! What you need is the {username} variable from this page: <https://help.trello.com/article/1157-variables>

You can use that as the username in the report command, and that will dynamically be replaced with whoever actually did the clicking. Trello can't get the member's email address, so you might need to find another way of delivering the report data, but that's the variable you're looking for!

comments: author: Cam
body: Thank you Mike!  

I've experimented with the {username} variable after you suggested it. It does get me half way there. Since trello cant get the members email, I wonder if there is a different way...   

My knowledge around the butler option "Get/Post to/Put to URL" is limited, but makes me think this is a way to publish the report (The Post to \> URL with header gets into application/json makes me thing this could be done).

Mike (or anyone else) where can I learn more about this? If we can publish it to a sharepoint site, MS teams instance, or SOMEWHERE that would be awesome!

Maybe I should point out that the diagram has a name.

If the diagram edit it proceeded with a Confluence page edit everything works fine. So editing a diagram during a page edit works.

I would really appreciate it if you could reach out to **support@gliffy.com** with all these specifics so that they can investigate this with our engineering team.

In the meantime, I wonder if you could look at the options under File --- would renaming or using the save as functionality to duplicate this diagram help?

Thanks for your help!

comments: author: henrik_gerdtsson
body: Thank you for the response.

We have found the problem. It is related to the Swedish character in the name of the diagram. I have reported it to your support as a bug. It has also been confirmed as a bug. I look forward to see the bug fixed in a future version. In the meantime we have two workarounds.

1. Use the Confluence page edit to edit the diagrams.  
2. Do not use Swedish characters in the name.
