Is it possible to have multiple template cards on one board?
Asked by Jami Mager:

I am trying to see if I can have two template cards on one board. I have two separate types of projects to manage- and they are just slightly different in scope. Thank you!!!

body: Yup! You can create multiple template cards on a board and then when you click the template card icon at the bottom of a list there will be a window where you can select which template card you'd like to create a new card from.

body: Thank you- I am just noticing that when I edit one Template- it edits the other.... WHAT AM I MISSING? Lol


author: briancervino
body: Really? I am having trouble reproducing that issue on my end on web. Is this on mobile or web that you are experiencing this?


author: Jami Mager
body: Yes- If I customize one- it edits the other as well. I am on the free version- if that matters. I am trying to create a functional board so my owner can see that it is an efficient way to manage the pipeline and will agree to upgrade! I am just creating a card and then checking to create a template. I have two templates and they mirror each other no matter what I do.

Thanks for your help!

body: Strange! Being on the free version wouldn't make a difference because card templates are free for all users. Could there be other Power-Ups enabled on the board that are causing interference?

It might be good to reach out to support who might better be able to diagnose the problem and solution - [https://trello.com/contact?nosearch=1\&source=from%20helpsite%20beacon#/](https://trello.com/contact?nosearch=1&source=from%20helpsite%20beacon#/)

body: Thank you! I notice that I can edit all of the card besides the Custom Fields- which is the power up I am using...

Perhaps the Power ups translate to each card? Thank you for all of your help!

body: I just experimented and you can make multiple templates and have different things on them, like check lists, labels, etc. **BUT** if you are using the **Custom Fields** power up, all custom fields you add appear in all templates. If you delete a custom field it's removed from all templates/cards for that board.

So far I can't find a way to add multiple custom fields then choose which ones to display in which templates on one board.


author: Jessica
body: I am having this same issue. I created a template card that uses custom fields, and every time I add a new card, the custom fields from the template card transfer over. If I try to delete the custom fields from the new card, it'll delete the fields from the template card. I wish there was a way to have multiple template cards with custom fields on the same board.

body: I am also having the same issue. I would like to use different custom fields in each template. Is there a way to do it?


author: Craig Morgan
body: This would be a good feature to have. Or if anyone knows of another solution...


author: Kim Swensrud
body: I am having the same issue. I want to create a new template card from an existing template card but want to edit the custom fields. When I do, it changes the original template card as well as all existing cards on the board. Frustrating....
