What is Trello current policy on copying boards
Asked by Running:

Hi [@Alex _ Trello](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4469170)

Has Trello recently changed their policy on Observers copying boards per your post

[Can Observers Copy Boards For Their Own Use? (goskope.com)](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Trello-questions/Can-Observers-Copy-Boards-For-Their-Own-Use/qaq-p/2175758)

I am trialing a Premium account to see how I will manage a project and was interested in how Observers work <https://support.atlassian.com/trello/docs/adding-observers-to-boards/>

I set up a new account (LR) and added the LR account as an Observer to my Premium board but noted that LR was able to copy the whole board. Would appreciate your further thoughts as I am wondering if I there are other settings I need to enable so that Observers can't copy the whole board.

Thank you.

Is the new account you set up an admin of the Premium workspace?

comments: author: Running
body: Thanks for your fast response. Just so you are clear on what I have done I will detail the steps.

1. I set up a Trello account and then a workspace and new board.
2. I then signed up for the Premium trial for the workspace in 1 above. I am an admin of the workspace and board.
3. I then added [@Running](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5122864) as an Observer to the board set-up in 1 above.

Hope this helps.

Thanks again.


author: Alex W
body: Hi [@Running](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5122864) - still not hundred percent sure what's happened here as you've tagged yourself in step 3.

If you add someone to a board as an Observer but they're already an admin of the Premium workspace, then their admin status in the Premium workspace will override their Observer status on the board. Therefore, they'll still be able to copy the board, as Premium workspace admins have admin capabilities on all boards in the Premium workspace.

If this doesn't answer your question, I highly recommend raising a ticket with Trello Support at <https://trello.com/contact>

As a Premium subscriber, you are entitled to same day support, and we can also ask for personal data such as the email/username of the person you've added as an Observer, the URL of the board you added them to, etc.


author: Running
body: Thanks again. Sorry, there are two separate Trello accounts. One is trialing a Premium subscription and the other is [@Running](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5122864). The account with the Premium trial added [@Running](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5122864) as an Observer... Happy to raise a ticket though. Thank you for your time!
How much time needs to pass for "{carddaysinpreviouslist}" to show a value in custom field?
Asked by Tim Shanaher:

I'm working on doing to time automations for our company workflow. I've done this by setting up a number of commands that track the amount of time spent in the previous list when a card is moved out and then this populates in a custom field.

I am tracking this time spent in days as it makes it easy for us to take that data and convert it into an HH:mm format within google sheets.

I originally had the commands setup for minutes as opposed to days and that often showed a large number of decimal places (sometimes showing up to 10dp) when inputting the value, but had to change to days for the google sheets.

However, when running a few tests, I left a card in a column for 5 minutes (some of our milestones may take only 5-10 minutes), but when I moved the card out of the list, it set the {carddaysinpreviouslist} value to 0. It looks like days only tracks to 2 decimal places. Is there a way I can increase this, or do I have to revert back to minutes and then figure out a new conversion method in google sheets?

Appreciate any help


Answers:
author: Lam
body: Hi [@Tim Shanaher](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4917629) - I don't believe we currently have a way to return more decimal places for the \`carddaysinpreviouslist\` variable. What you can try is using the the \`cardminutesinpreviouslistround\` which will round the minutes to the nearest integer. Give that a try and let me know if that works for you or not.

The rounding feature can be applied to all variables dealing with a card's time: <https://support.atlassian.com/trello/docs/butler-variables/>

Slack Power up: Getting notifications of specific Trello cards just in one Slack channel?
Asked by Nathalie Funke:

We would like to receive notifications of specific Trello cards (not all) in one of our Slack Channels. Is this somehow possible?


Answers:
author: Suzie M
body: Hi Nathalie,

Welcome to the community, glad to help with this!

Currently, the Slack Power-Up alerts work for the entire board changes so it's not possible to enable notifications for specific cards only. I'll let our team know that you would be interested in this!

As an alternative, you may achieve this by setting up an automation using Butler (read more about integrating Slack with Butler here: <https://support.atlassian.com/trello/docs/using-the-jira-and-slack-integrations>).

This will allow you to create rules that will post a message to your Slack channel when an action has been done on a specific card. This article will be helpful as it further explains how this works: <https://blog.trello.com/butler-automations-for-slack-jira>.

Let us know if there's anything else we can help with!

Hi! - question details below re. Trello Free on Mobile device
Asked by geoffnordell:

So I use Free Trello on laptop and mobile device.

I use the calendar power-up alot for events. Any idea if I can add an event and event details on my mobile device?

Have a feeling i'd probs need to upgrade my account or maybe this offering just isn't available?

Thanks a mill, Geoff


Answers:
author: Oliver S
body: Hi Geoff, welcome to the community!! :)

Which mobile platform are you on? iOS or Android?

Should be possible to add events on your mobile device - have tested on iOS. You can create cards and set due dates, which will display within the Calendar Power-up. The calendar Power-up itself can be accessed from the board menu.

More info available here: <https://support.atlassian.com/trello/docs/making-changes-to-a-card-in-ios/#Adding-attachments--checklists--labels--members--or-due-dates>

I accidently made a board a template can I remove this status
Asked by Todd _ LE Aerospace:

Hello,

I had a project that is underway and I accidently made it a template but it is shared with my client. can i change the status back to just a board


Answers:
author: Ste Wright
body: Hi [@Todd _ LE Aerospace](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5122764)

This isn't something I've needed to do before - but you should be able to reverse the process in a similar manner to how you created it:

1. Go to your Board
2. On the right-hand side, click the breadcrumbs (3-dots icon)
3. In the Board Menu which appears, select *More*
4. In place of *Make Template* there should be a button *Convert to Board*

This will move the Template back to being a Board - then I'd just check its share settings, etc.

Let us know if this works!

Features of Trello
Asked by ALARA PARAGAS:

Hello,

I am writer and life coach working solo for now. I need to know if Trello will provide what I need. 1) an in-house calendar for my to-do-lists by project. 2) a project management organizer that will house my documents and resources by project 3) ability to collaborate with an assistant in the future. I've looked at Trello but I was overwhelmed by the platform. Is there an easy way to ease the learning curve?

Thanks.

is there a way to automatically send an email when you move a card to another list?
Asked by Heather Gonzalez:

My goal is to have an email send to a customer when a card is moved to a list. I want an email requesting a review of our services to the customer.

I've found lots of community answers about how to do this using different PowerUps, but I don't see anywhere showing you how to tell it what email to send it to. Is there a way to put the customer's email somewhere on the card so Zapier can read it and send an email to that specific customer? It's a different email every time. I would ideally like to use Zapier as it's free, the other PowerUp options (Hipporello, SendBoard, etc) are paid.

Pulling libraries to fixed location to avoid per-branch duplication
Asked by marjanvenema:

I have several projects which use code from a larger set of libraries. These libraries are under source control.

The libraries repository contains all the libraries used by all my projects and contains multiple versions of multiple libraries. Each library/version pair lives in its own folder. Each of my projects identifies the specific library/version pairs it needs through the folder paths of the references in its project file.

I have been of course been able to configure my build plan to pull the libraries repository. So far so good. However, using the auto branch management feature, this setup means that the entire libraries repository is replicated for each branch in all projects.

Not funny. No, really, not funny...

What I would like to do is:

* pull the libraries repository in each build plan
* but pull it to a fixed location that is the same for all build plans
* it doesn't have to be an absolute path
* but it does need to be outside the working directory of the current build plan

Unfortunately the \`Checkout Directory\` of the \`Source Code Checkout configuration\` task doesn't allow me to specify either an absolute path or a relative one that goes "up" for one or more levels from the working dir. The hint text explicitly states "(Optional) Specify an alternative sub-directory to which the code will be checked out." And indeed, specifying something like \`..\\Library\` gets punished with the message "Checkout to parent directory is forbidden".

What would be the easiest and least complicated way to achieve my goal?


Answers:
author: Samuel Clemens
body: I have the same problem - with a repository weighing in at around 2GB.  
I'd like to simply "git checkout myBranch" and "git clean -fxd" instead of cloning every time (which should save a lot of time and disk space). However I also like Bamboo's automatic trigger with new branches showing up.  

I'd love to be able to put "..\\SharedDirectory" in the "CheckoutDirectory" for the   
"Source Code Checkout" task but it won't let me go out above the \\JOB_KEY\\ folder  

I'm considering replacing the Source Code Checkout task with the two git commands above.  
That way I can specify exact when/where/how to do the checkout.


author: marjanvenema
body: Nope. Gave up.Have had the same problem with other build server packages. It would seem that build server packages expect libraries to be installed on the server and not part of the build process. The idea has some merit, even for libraries that you develop yourself. But, while they indeed should have their own build process and release cycle, it does not necessarily follow that I should not be able to pull their source in the build of another piece of software.

Building multiple C++ solutions as a single Bamboo project
Asked by Timothy Calderwood:

We have several products that each require multiple VS solutions to be built to produce a product. A few years ago, we tried Bamboo and the issue was the Bamboo only supported a single solution. From what we have read, Bamboo only still supports a single solution configuration. Is there currently a work around for this and/or instructions on how to setup Bamboo to support multiple solutions for a single product?

How can I disable viewing of build logs for anonymous users in Bamboo?
Asked by bartbarrow:

Hi,

My situation is a little odd. We have a project that is closed source, privately hosted on BitBucket. We need users to have access to our JIRA and Bamboo, but I don't want them to be able to access build logs in Bamboo because it contains some data that they shouldn't be able to see. How can I do this?

Deployment Envrionments forgetting agents
Asked by Chris Wundram:

We've been seeing an issue with Bamboo deployment projects. When we set an envrionment to use a deployment agent, it works fine for a couple of weeks, and then without warning the agent is suddenly unset, and it just picks one from the pool. We have on agent that is configured to run our deployment projects, so this usually leads to the deployment failing.

Has anyone seen this behaviour?

Sql server database for Bamboo
Asked by Emmanuel Tesson:

I have 2 questions about the Sql Server database configuration for Bamboo

1. I understand that the database Collation has to be Case Sensitive ("Latin1_General_CS_AS"). But is it supported with the server instance being setup with "SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS" as the default. My DBAs have some concerns.
2. Once Bambo is setup and configured, the dbas want to decrease the permissions of the bambo account (remove dbo.owner role), what is the minimal set of permission ofr the sql account ?

Thanks in advance

Emmanuel


Answers:
author: Tiago Comasseto
body: Hi Emmanuel, using Bamboo with case insensitive collation can cause problems. We do not recommend SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS. Also, the database user should be in the db_owner role.

Multiple execution of the same test with different random seeds

Default user when build fails
Asked by Mark Wolff:

When a project of mine fails, the responsible party is always the former manager of the group. He isn't even in the group anymore and certainly isn't checking in any code. I am trying to figure out where this default is set. In my environment, I am a plan administrator, but am not a server administrator, so there are panels I have never seen. Can anyone point me in the right direction?


Answers:
author: EddieW
body: The "Responsibility" is based on

* Last Committers
* Manual Assignment (ad-hoc)
* System Defaults

The last one seems to be your issue, but If _you_ are committing to the repo, your name should override.

Anyway you can have a server admin check this setting from the admin area:

Add-Ons \> Build Responsibilities

![](../../upfiles/Screen_Shot_2014-03-23_at_9.14.55_AM.png)

And clear the only value that can be set there.

Please pay attention that's two ways to integrate Bitbucket with Bamboo:

1-Setup as Bitbucket repository: it'll retrieve all allowed repos to the used Bitbucket account.

2-Setup a Git/Mercurial repo: this option will ignore the "Bitbucket shell" and will only deliver the exactly repository.

Note that in both cases you'll allways make use of your Bitbucket username and password.

Cheers,
