Ability to make SOME (but not all!) lists narrower?
Asked by Steve Shaw:

I have a number of "placeholder" lists that are often empty. And even when not empty, rarely have more than one or two items. Would love to be able to make them take less horizontal space.

For example, I have heavily used lists for moving tasks between stages: Planned Q3, Code Now, In Next Build, Test, Failed Test, Verified.

But I also have variations on these, when an issue is only on one platform:

Code Now (iOS), In Next Release (iOS), Test (iOS).

Add more platforms - and this becomes unmanageable. Most of the time, many of those platform-specific lists are empty (or we don't need to look at them right now) - we do them in batches when focusing on next release for that platform.

-------------------------

Simple features that would help:

1. Click on a list header, to toggle it between "Expanded" and "Compact". Compact might default to half or third the width. Compact would hide most detail on each card - just show the title. Never use more than two? three? lines per card: enough of the title to get the gist of it, but don't take up too much room. Maybe smaller font?
2. Set a board-wide "threshold" for "Number of items below which a list is shown Compact". E.g. "If less than 2 items, make list 1/3 its normal width".

-------------------------

Discussion of alternative solutions:

A "Grid" layout wouldn't help enough, because only certain lists have variations - . Also, the lists vary greatly in length - it would be challenging to "Grid" the lists, yet keep the desired order.

"Regions" (groups of lists), and ability to change layout of individual regions, would be helpful. The "central" portion of our lists, that manages this hand-off, could be a Region containing a grid - IF we can control where each row of grid starts. (So, NOT a "Flow Layout" that wraps to next row at browser edge.) Specifically: one row per platform, then the final row would be cross-platform \[Xamarin Forms - FTW!\]

Wow, thanks for the super thorough recommendation here!

I'm afraid that we don't have any immediate plans to allow resizing of lists, but this extra info definitely makes a case for why it would be a great addition for a use case like yours.

I'll pass all this along to our team for consideration---let me know if there's anything else you'd like me to share for you.

Thanks again!
Where is the "count cards" command in Butler?
Asked by Adam Banko:

The help page <https://help.trello.com/article/1157-variables> mentions
> Variables available after a "count cards" command:

> {cardcountresult}

Still, I can't seem to find it in the app.

My goal is to count up the number of cards in my "Inbox" column and send it to an HTTP endpoint so I can capture and graph it later.

body: [@Adam Banko](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/1484949) this used to exist in Butler Bot but doesn't look like it made it into the Power Up version. Here's a Trellinator command that will do what you want:

<https://gist.github.com/iaindooley/2ad6eb6b00187a64bab978b90e0d29e3>

You just have to install it as a time trigger command and then it will run daily after that. You can see more about Trellinator here:

Butler add-on: How to set rule using name of the one moving a card
Asked by Marketing Nordjysk Beslag:

I've installed the Butler add-on to Trello. I have several af lists for on one board for multipal users, i want to set a rule with Butler.

That labels a card when you move it from one list to another list. I want the label to display the name of the one moving the card. So that all other users can see that this person is currently dealing with this specific card.

Does it make sense?

I started the rule with "When a card is "moved into" list "list name" "by anyone" ...

(then i need to define second part

The closes i can find is "add member But [@user1603166931620](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/195722). (here i can only pick a specific person) to the card". I want it to chose who ever is dealing with the card.


Answers:
author: Marketing Nordjysk Beslag
body: Thank you [@Katrin Anger](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/2708783) for your solution.

Sadly it doesn't work in this case. The reason for this is, the user who creates the card is not the name i want to be added to the card..

I have one list for incoming phone calls, we leave a message for someone (a salesperson) to get back to the person calling. And when a salesperson moves it from the first list to another list I want the salesperson's name added to the cards, so we can see which salesperson is dealing with this caller.   

Some calls are easy, they ask for a specific salesperson, then we write the initials of the salesperson to the card. Now when it's not a specific salesperson, I've asked them to write their initials on the card when they move it, but some forget to do this.

body: [@Marketing Nordjysk Beslag](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/3572304)

Hi there,

as I see it, there isn't currently a variable available that would do what you want it to do.

However, there is a workaround that I think would work. (Haven't tested it). It requires 2 Butler commands (both rules)

First, you create a command that stores the username of the user that triggered the command (e.g., moving the card) in the description of the card. And then you could use a 2nd command to readout that username and add it to as the label's name.

Alternatively, if you are using the card's description for something already, you could also set this up with a Custom Field.
My list of cards collapsed so I can not access individual cards?
Asked by Sarah McClelland:

My cat walked across the keyboard and all of a sudden all the lists on the trello board collapsed down to just the title for each. However, it still shows the amount in number form of the cards under each list. I can't access them or see how to expand them so I can use them again. Thanks

Click your bell notification icon in the top right of any board. Then you'll scroll down to the bottom to see activity. You should see your activity from when you deleted your Kanban/Project board. When you see it click on it and the card will come up. At the very bottom you'll see a red delete button. Right above that is a button called "send to board".

Can I create a combo-trigger using Butler for Trello?
Asked by Brenda Tapp:

Hello! Here is a broad overview of my situation - I am trying to create a combo-trigger butler rule on Trello. I want several actions to occur when I complete 2 triggers, rather than just the one. Here is more info on my specific ask -

Upon creating a card - when I add a certain label AND add the card to a certain list, I want to add a description, checklist, etc. automatically. I currently have my rule set up so my trigger is when I add the card to a certain list, the actions of updating the description, checklist, etc. occur, but I need slightly different info depending on the label that is on the card and I cannot figure out if there's a way to create a combo trigger. Please let me know if I can explain this more effectively?

Thank you so much for your help!

Is it possible to automatically have same task list to every new card
Asked by Paul de Wet:

Is it possible to automatically have same task list to every new card

Maybe in zapier or something just want a master check list that is standard on board for all card's


Answers:
author: Katrin Anger
body: [@Paul de Wet](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/3571836)

Hi Paul, yes, you can add checklists (= task lists) to a newly created card. By enabling the Butler Power-Up and setting up a rule, this can be achieved easily.

I recommend the approach of having the checklist already available on some dummy card. That's the easiest for setup.
Formatting Checklists text?
Asked by Angela Schmold:

Does anyone have a method for formatting text so it's differentiated with other text in checklists? Checklists behave differently than titles or descriptions. I cannot physically separate it using enters or \>\>'s. I've got steps associated with each checklist item and I don't want to create 100's of cards or create parent-child interwoven cards. So far, I'm using the code to add hierarchy to my lists within my checklists. Any ideas?


Answers:
author: Katrin Anger
body: [@Angela Schmold](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/3571835)

Hi Angela, the formatting options for checklists are limited to what Markdown allows you to do. You can use \* for italic, or \*\* to bold the checklist item or some words, but there aren't really too many options - sadly.

Trouble with auto replies
Asked by Sebastian S:

I am working with some other users who use auto replies in their mail apps and have subscribed to complete boards. So whenever anything changes there is a new comment telling me he/she is out of office today :-(

Is there any way I can disable it or filter those messages?

Note: I am not in control of their mail account and can't get them to disable that stupid thing ?


Answers:
author: Katrin Anger

Hi Sebastian,

I am afraid that's currently not possible.

At first I was attempted to suggest to use the Butler Power-Up for such purpose. But unfortunately, there is only a search function for text phrases that would search in the card's title or the card's description, not the comment section. And that's what you are after, aren't you?
How can I find archived cards for every employee?
Asked by Ross Shemeliak:

I have a column "Weekly done" and "Monthly done" on all boards.  

When someone did something during the week, you will move to "weekly done".  
So when a new week begins, you move all "done cards" to "monthly done".  
After that, when the month ends, you will archive all monthly done cards.  

But I want to find or storage all archived tasks for every employee.   
To know what someone did last months or last 3 months.   
It will be helpful for reporting.


Answers:
author: Carson Buckley
body: In the archive you can search [@User](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/115298)_name to find anything they were assigned to. If you use labels, you can also search for particular labels.

If there are no direct assignments to individuals, but they have commented on cards, you can search for that as well.
URL Query string filter parameter for 'currentUser'

Is there any constant that I can replace my username with so that I can send that same URL to any board member for them to see *their* assigned cards?

eg.

[https://trello.com/b/abc123/some-board?menu=filter\&filter=member:me](https://trello.com/b/abc123/some-board?menu=filter&filter=member:me)

Can i create an alert/notification for everyday is some task is not completed.
Asked by Steven Sawyer Jr:

Hi, I am using Trello with my team for our projects. But i'm wondering if i can use it for other emergency issues.

Every day we have guys who go out to work. I need to know if they are back at the office at the end of the day, so I just want to receive a notification if they are not back. Maybe something to complete like a card to click, and when they click a deadline of the alert is reported to the next day ?  
And is it possible to have something pre-configured like, i have to come back at 6pm, so one guy receive a notification at this hour to click on the app and say i'm ok, and send a notification to me after 1.5 hours if he didn't. So each time i just have to choose the hour of return and the rest would be automatic.  
I know it's very specific, maybe Trello is not the adequate app to do it.  
If you have ideas, i would be very thankful for your help.

Kind regards,  

Steven.


Answers:
author: Iain Dooley
body: [@Steven Sawyer Jr](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/3569069) I think you should be able to do this with the Butler power up. [@Katrin Anger](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/2708783) is more familiar with the power up than I am but something like:

The moment a card is due post comment "@card hey can you please mark the due date complete if you're back in the office?"

and:

1.5 hours after a card is due post comment "@yourusername hey this wasn't marked as complete"

I'm pretty sure the due date trigger won't fire if the due date has been marked as complete, but even if that's not the case you could do something like:

The moment a card in list "Pending" is due post comment "@yourusername hey this wasn't moved to the arrived list"

then the guys would just move the card to the "Arrived" list when they come back to the office and you'd only get notified if they hadn't done it.

This is also something you could automate with Trellinator if you can't get what you need out of Butler but you'd need a coder to do it:

How do I filter out cards which has a specific label? (Trello)
Asked by Cinar Fidan:

In Trello, I am struggling with finding a way to filter out cards. On the "Menu" under "search cards";

You can select specific labels to see cards which have these labels, BUT you cannot "unselect" a label to see cards which don't have these labels. For instance, there is a specific card which has both "Label X" and "Label Y". When I "unselect" "Label Y", this cards still shows because it has "Label X" too. I want all cards which has "Label Y" out, even if they have other labels.

Is there a way to do this?

Thanks!

Trello with Butler: Automatically checking an item when card is moved to "Finished" list
Asked by Shannon Cavey:

When an item is created under a checklist titled "Steps," then a linked card is created under my "To Do" list.

I'm trying to create the rule that when the card is moved to my "Finished" list, the associated item in the checklist will be checked off. But nothing is working. I've tried this rule:

when a card is moved into list "Finished!", find a card with link "{triggercardlink}", and check item "{triggercardlink}"

I've also tried:

when a card is moved into list "Finished!", for each card linked in the attachments, check item "{triggercardlink}"

What am I doing wrong?


Answers:

Things that may break it are if the "parent" card isn't linked from the attachments of the "child" card, and if the checklist item name doesn't match the link. To debug, maybe try something like:

when a card is moved into list "Finished!", for each card linked in the attachments, post comment "{triggercardlink}"

then see if the comment shows up and compare the comment text to the text in the checklist item
