recovering lost description
Asked by Louis FEUILLOY:

i found the solution : you can find the JSON file in the share options of the card, there is all the historic of the card

------

Hello,

I've erased by mistake a work written on description. I've tried to recover it following the instructions on this link : <https://help.trello.com/article/783-recovering-the-description-of-a-card-that-has-been-changed> but it didn't work.

Is this process still working ? I can access to some informations of my card (<https://trello.com/1/cards/V5MyADv6/actions?Filter=updateCard:desc>) but there is no old description.

Thanks for your help

Louis

Can no longer access my cards in Trello, but I can still see them?
Asked by Hannah Anstee:

Since yesterday I can no longer actually view the content of my cards on one of my boards. I can see the cards but am unable to click on them to access the content.

This is a shared board with one other person but I'm the lead admin.

I have another board and this is working fine.

Any ideas?

author: Iain Dooley
body: [@Thomas Holst](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/3924792) well in a sense it does because all Trellinator does is use Trello's API. Their focus has always been on providing a superior API that allows people to automate the product and innovate features on their own, rather than clutting up the product with lots of ad-hoc features. I would be happy to install this function for you, though, you can find a link in my bio to my website where I offer these services.

checklist
individual card value for each list (WIP-Limits)
Asked by Andr?_Wei?huhn:

Hi,

we work with Trello since 5 weeks. I can set individual WIP-Limits for each list of a board. Is it possible to set an individual value for each card of a list?

At the moment each card has a value of 1 for the WIP-Limit of a list. In our case it would be better if we could set a value for each card higher than 1, for example 25.

I'm thankful for any advice.


Answers:
author: Iain Dooley
body: [@Andr?_Wei?huhn](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/3924763) are you doing this using the list limits power up?

comments: author: Andr?_Wei?huhn
body: Sorry, my fault, i mixed it.

Yes, we use the power up list limits. I meant to set an individual value for each card.

For example:

WIP-Limit ist 150 for a list. Each order is a different card, but instead a value of 1 per card we need a value of 10.

List 1 (2/150)

Card 1 (1)

Card 2 (1)

In this case we have to cards and each value is 1.

List 2 (20/150)

Card 1 (15)

Card 2 (5)

In this case we also have two cards, but different values. Thats what i need and list limits works only for lists, not for a card or am i wrong?


author: Andr?_Wei?huhn
body: [@Iain Dooley](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/1416112) any advice?


author: Iain Dooley
body: [@Andr?_Wei?huhn](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/3924763) list limits limits the number of cards that can appear in a list at any time. I'm not sure how limits would apply to individual cards, do you mean that you want to limit the total number of items in a checklist on a card?


author: Andr?_Wei?huhn
body: [@Iain Dooley](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/1416112) No, i just want to set a value for each card individually. List limits enable an individual WIP-limit for each list, for example 100. Total number of cards in this list are up to 100 now. I need something like list-card limits.

Maybe its better that way:

We are in a bakery. We can produce 100 cakes per day. Each order is a card on our list. WIP-limit for our cake-list would be 100.

Today we have two orders, 30 and 70 cakes. That means we have two cards and reached our limit.

Our WIP-Limit would be 2/100 with list limits, because of those two orders. But the real limit would be 100/100. I just wanna see instantly, if we reached our limit.

In this case i have to set an individual value for each card, 70 and 30.


author: Iain Dooley
body: [@Andr?_Wei?huhn](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/3924763) Okay so it sounds like what you need is a custom field called order size and for the sum of the field values for a given list to be displayed in the list title, for example this Trellinator function will do that:  

<https://gist.github.com/iaindooley/1aef7ebc05ab2701366d020dc490209a>

You could also do something like alert if the sun was greater than a given amount or move the card back to its previous list.

Can I have a cover image cropped so that it takes up the entire banner at the top of an open card?
Asked by Gary Anderson:

I have assigned a cover image for a card. When the card is collapsed the images looks good on the board. However when the card is open it tries to fit the entire image in the banner at the top of the open card. This leaves large areas of colored space on either side of the image. I would like to pick a crop of the image so the entire banner at the top of the card is filled. If I need to see the image full sized all I have to do is click on the attachment. But while its in the banner I would very much like it if it used the entire banner space.

Can this be done?

Welcome to the community!

I can't tell you the exact resolution but 800w x 200h worked for me! Give it a try!

comments: author: Gary Anderson
body: Thank you. I will try it but it also adds to another problem I need to sort. I still need the full resolution attachment to be in the card for future use, so that means I would need to create a new image off platform to accomplish this. While not difficult it is more work and time spent trying to clean up the interface to make it less distracting for me. But that's not even the most trying. The other issue that I wanted to work out was... Is it possible to adjust the order of internal components on a card. For example I would like to have all attachments posted below the comments? If I have a lot of attachments as I feel I will, they take up a bunch of space on the card and I have to scroll past them to get to the comments section. Could the attachments not be at the very bottom of the card?


author: Gary Anderson
body: I accept that the answer to the question in the OP is no. Thanks again [@Soumyadeep Mandal](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/3861721)

You can also see your most recently used boards by going to your home page, so that might help for your "most used" boards to show up on!

Do all board members have access to the same Google Drive account?
Asked by Hannah Hughes:

I am using the Google Drive power-up on my Trello board and it's signed into my personal Google Drive. I'm wondering if other members of the Trello board are able to see my Google Drive files that are NOT added to the board.

Of course, they can see the files I have chosen to attach/share on Trello cards, but if other members tried to add Google Drive files to Trello cards, would they see MY Google Drive files, or asked to sign into their own G Drive?


Answers:
author: Soumyadeep Mandal
body: Hi [@Hannah_Hughes](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/3924548) ,

Welcome to the community!

Other members of the same board can only see the files that you have attached on the board from Google Drive! They won't be able to see other files present in your personal Google Drive account!

comments: author: Iain Dooley
body: [@Soumyadeep Mandal](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/3861721) They won't be able to see the actual file contents unless they have access to it in Drive though right?

body: Hi [@Hannah_Hughes](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/3924548) \& [@Iain Dooley](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/1416112) ,

If [@Hannah_Hughes](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/3924548) connect google drive and attach any file, the file will be available to everyone and can be opened by any member of the board but other members of the same board can't access the google drive of [@Hannah_Hughes](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/3924548) , they can access the file that has been attached but they can open the file as shared files using their own google drive accounts.


author: Hannah Hughes
body: Thank you [@Soumyadeep Mandal](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/3861721) that answers my question! All members can see what I share to the Trello board from Google Drive, but if they tried to add their own Google Drive content to a Trello card, they would be asked to sign into their own G Drive account rather than seeing the contents of mine. Thanks!


author: Iain Dooley
body: [@Hannah_Hughes](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/3924548) [@Soumyadeep Mandal](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/3861721) I just tested this, anyone can add file attachments from Google Drive, without enabling the Google Drive power up, all it does is attach a link to the file, onto the card, named with the title of the file.

If you also enable the Google Drive power up, then you see some enhanced content on the card like file preview/icon.

However in both cases, people who do not have access to the file in Google Drive, cannot access the file in Trello.

In other words, you never really attach the \*file\* to the Trello card, you only ever attach a link to the Google Drive file to the Trello card.

I have custom fields activated, however I don't have the option for colors? how can I add this?

Answers:
author: Soumyadeep Mandal
body: Hi [@jaime martinez](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/3924536) ,

Welcome to the community!

Right now, you can only change the background for the entire board, and you can't set background colors for individual cards.

However, there's a Chrome extension that you might want to look into, that does allow for that: <https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/card-colors-for-trello/nodlpencjjlohojddhflnahnfpfanbjm?hl=en>

You can also use labels that support multiple colors.


author: Brittany Joiner
body: Hey [@jaime martinez](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/3924536) can you clarify what you mean by colors? If you mean labels, that should be a standard feature to be able to add colored labels to your cards. Are you not seeing that on your boards?
Trello API - Update Cards on Multiple Boards - What is the Key and Token?
Asked by mydeqtechteam:

Hi,

I have a program to update cards on multiple boards using the Trello API. I have tested and it works on a couple of boards that I have access on (using my developer API Key and Token). I now need to update the cards on Boards that I directly do not have access on (private boards in my Organization). How do I generate the Key / Token to be able to do this ?


Answers:
author: Iain Dooley
body: [@mydeqtechteam](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/3813319) are you doing this from a power up? If so you just need to get the user to authenticate:

<https://developer.atlassian.com/cloud/trello/guides/power-ups/authentication/#using-t-authenticate>

Permissions in the API are governed by the token you pass in, and each API key can have multiple tokens authenticated against it.

comments: author: Udai Inuganti
body: Thanks for the response [@Iain Dooley](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/1416112) Is it possible to generate a token per board ? This will enable my Developer Key to only update certain boards. How would I be able to do that? The above API is not for a Power-up but integrating Trello with an external system.


author: Iain Dooley
body: [@Udai Inuganti](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/94259) not that I'm aware of, you can only use read or write in the scope parameter, and you can't specify that a given token has access only to a subset of boards within the authorising account.

That's my experience and I can't find any documentation to the contrary, but you might also like to ask in the developer community:

<https://community.developer.atlassian.com/c/trello?_ga=2.172649891.1445675984.1584322869-299049771.1576052240>

Why is the "free plan" not free?
Asked by Gerhard_M_:

I use Trello in the free version with 4 users and one app (Chronos). After we have worked with it for some time, the app Chronos was been shut down, with the given reason that Altlassing has to earn money especially due to Corona. We are said to pay a usage fee to be able to use Chronos again. Alternatively, we should reset Chronos so that we can use it again for a while.

So a problem-free use is not possible for free.

Why is this not mentioned anywhere?


Answers:
author: Michael Pryor
body: We have an app marketplace called Power-Ups. Sounds like you installed one of them but that isn't Atlassian (or Trello) trying to charge you.

comments: author: Gerhard_M_
body: Before I installed Chronos, I was told that I could add now one app for free. After that I was informed that the contingent was exhausted: "This board has reached the maximum number of power-ups.". The description of Chronos does not contain any reference to fees. Sorry that this is all quite confusing for me.

I understand, that a company should earn money for services. Not a problem. My company also charges such fees itself. However, I think transparency is important. Otherwise, I could be annoyed if I feel I have fallen into a trap.


author: Steven F Behnke
body: Chronos is a third-party paid plugin. It does not exist in default Trello as far as I am aware.
does anyone know how to automate a json export?
Asked by Ameen Mustafa:

I am trying to use a curl request to automate a Trello board's json getting exported. I am following the directions [here](https://developer.atlassian.com/cloud/trello/guides/rest-api/automating-exports/). so I did step 1. I got the same results as them. then I went on to step 2. copied and pasted the request they showed. I am now getting an error that says

"can't read the state of an export"

then I press enter and I get

    [1] random number  Done "then a bunch of empty space" + my original request in step 2 minus the token

Answers:
author: Iain Dooley
body: [@Ameen Mustafa](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/3534942) have you checked the obvious stuff, for example did you update the command when you copied and pasted it to contain the export ID returned from the initial query in addition to the organization ID?

Also what about the 3rd command to return all exports for an organization, can you see a list of exports using that?

Welcome to the community!

You cannot be removed those icons from there until you delete some fields inside the cards.

* You have to delete Description
* Unwatch the card
* Remove attachments
* Remove location/maps

I don't think it's a good idea to delete any of those fields because if those fields are removed then the cards/board will lose its meaning!
