Why are all my new cards (in all boards) being created with 'Watch' on?
Asked by Roberta West:

Hey there,

I am a pretty junior user but since yesterday all new cards (in all boards) are being created with the 'watch' function on. I checked the board and lists and they are not set to 'watch'.

I also haven't changed anything on my settings or account.

Any ideas to turn it off...it is so annoying and time consuming to do it manually for each new card.

TIA

Roberta

Trello support is looking into it, however you can send info to trello.com/contact See screen shot, they are currently investigating the issue.

Once I know more I will share with you.

Thanks and have a good day,

Jodi

body: Hi [@Roberta West](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/2445251) , the Trello Team received a lot of feedback about this autowatching feature that was recently enabled in Trello. As a result they are planning to disable the auto-watch feature on creation of new cards for now. However there is still an auto-watch enabled for any user that changes a due date on a card, that one will remain in effect for the time being. This change will take affect sometime between now and by end of day tomorrow (Thursday) for all Trello sites.

I hope this helps and have a great day,

How can I prevent the 'watch' setting from being added as cards are created?
Asked by Jeff Fox:

Within the last two days, an issue has occurred where every time I add a card, the watch icon appears automatically. How can I prevent this from happening?

This behavior occurs for every board I have, after clearing the browser cache, while using a different browser. When adding cards on my iPhone, the watch icon doesn't show, but when I view the newly created card in my browser, it does appear.

Note: I have checked settings for the lists and boards in questions. None of the lists or boards are set to 'watch'.

I have also seen some comments that you need to disable this in a comment, but I don't see the setting exposed at that level.

Thank you!

Can you add a secondary description box in Trello?
Asked by Virginia O'Cleirigh:

I'd like to add a new text box field underneath the main description one, but can't find a way to do it. The custom fields are too small, I'd basically like to replicate the description box and for it to sit underneath the main description box.

body: [@Virginia O'Cleirigh](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/2440000)Adding extra layout is not supported in Trello.

Do you now a Gantt chart power up/ integration that can be seen in the Trello app?
Asked by Margarita Urz?a:

Dear All: I am using Trello for a while and I am absolutely delighted with the app. Congratulations for all of you. However, there is a feature I need to begin to use: a Gantt chart. I have done lot of research about the different alternatives (team Gantt, Elegantt, if brother, and the like). No of them fully met my requirements. But my most important requirements is aGantt chart integrated with Trello that I can view in the mobile app as a Gantt Chart. All of the power up that I mentioned before allow you to use them just in the desktop version of Trello and in the Web browser. Do you know any way I can integrated a Gantt Chart with Trello that can be viewed in the Trello app?. Thank you very much! Best Regards.

Right now, the Trello mobile app supports 3 Power-Ups (Calendar, Custom Fields, and Voting) with more coming soon! We're always improving the look and feel of the Trello apps and they will be evolving over time to meet the needs of mobile users. I'll share your feedback on this with the Trello mobile team for visibility. Hope you'll stay tuned for future mobile Power-Ups!

Is there a hack for this?
Asked by Lindsey_Ross:

I have many lists where I want my "urgent" or "today" items to be visible, but that also contain tasks which have due dates set in the future, and I'd like for those tasks not to appear until they're due.

If I choose to filter by "due in the next day," it won't show any of my regular tasks unless I go through and set the due date for each one to be "today." Too tedious.

One idea I had was to set all my urgent tasks to a green label by default, and then any tasks that I assign a due date to, I would label as yellow. Then I could filter my list to only show green labels, OR tasks that are due in the next day. However, even when I do this and select "Matches any label and any member," all the non-dated tasks disappear.

Is there a better way to achieve this objective?


Answers:
author: Mike
body: Hi Lindsey,

The Butler Power-Up sounds like exactly what you're looking for, but there's a significant caveat.

Trello doesn't yet natively support the sort of automation you're looking for, but we did very recently acquire Butler for Trello to help accomplish exactly that. With Butler, you can set up rules that will move cards around on your board, into and out of a Priority list, defined however you want---for example, based on either label or due date, or whatever else you want.

The caveat here is that we're still working on the integration steps, so if you don't have a pre-existing Butler account, you can't create one right now. This is a temporary restriction, and we hope to have more information to share on this soon! Once we do, and you're able to sign up for Butler, I think this'll be a great solution for you.
Is there a way to create as many subtopics as I need in Trello?
Asked by Mihai Ban:

Hello Atlassian Community,

I am using Trello to layout certain processes that go deeper and deeper into each other with more details, kinda like a tree diagram, and so I'm needing to create a lot of subtasks. Is there an easy way to do this in Trello?

Is there a free 3rd party Powerup that isn't listed in Trello to do this?

If not, is there a process management tool that can be visually appealing, offer a lot of customizable items, and allow for repeated subtasking?

Thanks for everyone's support.

author: Garrett
body: Hey Mihai,

You can link cards with one another natively in Trello: <https://help.trello.com/article/824-sharing-links-to-cards-and-boards>, but for more of a hierarchal setup, I'd recommend looking at some of our Power-Ups:

* <https://trello.com/power-ups/5b7ae739fad82e45988016cf/epic-cards-by-screenful>
* <https://trello.com/power-ups/58c85f41d7f012a1879c7b2e/card-relationships-hello-epics>

How to view the email address of who sent an email-to-card to you
Asked by Emily Goldrick:

Is it possible to see the email that sent an email-to-card to your trello board?


Answers:
author: Teddy
body: Hey Emily!

Currently, our email-to-board feature doesn't track the email address of the person writing in. However, if you want to collect that information from your users and make a Trello card with it, that is possible.  

To set that up, we'd suggest checking out Zapier. They're a third-party service which connects apps without needing to add code---in this case, you can set up Zapier so that a new entry in a Google Sheets spreadsheet will create a new Trello card. So, you can set up a Google Form, have that save its data to Google Sheets, and have that information then passed to Trello as a new card, with all of the information you need from your user.  

You can check our Zapier Power-Up here: <https://info.trello.com/power-ups/zapier>

Can I mark a due date as 'complete' by simply moving a card to a "done" list?
Asked by Scott McConnell:

I add due dates to probably 60% of the cards I produce. Typically, when I've completed a task, I move the card to a list called "Done" on that board. I notice, though, that many of my "Done" cards have red and overdue due dates -- simply b/c I didn't check the box too when moving the card.

Is there a way to mark due date as done simply by moving the card to a specific list?

author: Scott McConnell
body: Hi [@Scott McConnell](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/1181293),

author: Scott McConnell
body: Hi [@Scott McConnell](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/1181293),

I am assuming the due date as checkbox field which has some options. If you want to automatically choose a value for that field upon transitioning an issue to "Done" state, then you can make use post functions from third-party add-ons.

One such function is "**Update Issue Custom Field"** post function from JIRA Suite Utilities add-on.

link cards on different boards

body: Hi [@??????? ?.](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/2435800)

This was published on the Trello Blog in November. The[Unito Power-Up](https://trello.com/power-ups/search/unito) lets you sync data such as descriptions, labels, lists, checklists, Custom Fields, comments, due dates, members, attachments, and more. Teams receive real-time updates on what's happening in multiple boards --- without ever having to leave their own. The best part: You can control exactly what information gets synced by using the filters.

Here is the blog post for more details:

Once my card repeats, I once again have to go in and set it as a repeat again? It is making me.
Asked by evan hutcheson:

I have recurring tasks that I do, so I have set up the repeat power up. It works great initially, but once the new card appears, the repeat function is gone. Is that normal? Shouldn't it continually repeat?


Answers:
author: Mike
body: Hi Evan,

Each repeated card is its own separate entity, so if you were to do as you describe, and set the Repeat *again*, you'll have a lot of extra repeating cards!

The first card, the original will continue to repeat until you disable the repeat or delete the card. Each newly repeated card is its own thing, so no need to set the repeat on those cards also!

How to send a Trello List of cards?

author: Alice

comments: author: W Lynch
body: Thanks Alice,

Do you know if there are any plans to allow for this? Or perhaps a common workaround? In this case, I'm trying to make just two lists of a board public to share with outside collaborators. Perhaps there is an easy way to create a public board (one that mirrors the two lists I wish to make public) that auto updates the corresponding private board? Appropriately adding new cards, updating custom fields and showing card movement?

Thanks again,

Wyeth


author: Alice
body: Lists don't have unique URLs so it isn't possible to share just them. However, as you said, you could create a separate public board with only the lists interested then you have a couple of options:

* using the [Unito Power Up](https://trello.com/power-ups/595e989fa8f137d2af456fd4/board-sync-by-unito)

[Here](https://blog.trello.com/trello-unito-power-up)is also a great blog post that could be useful.

Trello on a touch screen
Asked by Henrik Nordl?f:

Hi, when will you have support for drag and drop on touch screens in the PC-version or on the web version? I've seen request about this since 2013. Isn't it a BIG defeat you haven't managed to solve this in 5 years?

Merged view of Trello calendars
Asked by Jessica May:

Hi there,

I'm struggling to see how when using Trello you can have a merged view of all your deadlines, from all your boards without exporting to another calendar.

Is this possible in Trello, and if so how?

This is just one step I'm struggling with in getting calendar confluence across Trello, Apple Ical and GCal! Any other tips welcome.

Thanks ahead.


Answers:
author: Teddy
body: Hi Jessica!

Currently, there isn't a global calendar view within Trello. I'll pass along your request to the team---let me know if there's any additional information you'd like me to share.  

For now, you could use the [Planyway Power-Up](https://info.trello.com/power-ups/planyway-calendar) to view due dates from other boards on an individual board's calendar.

Although this would require a third-party calendar, there's also a calendar connector Power-Up from Cronofy that can help you connect multiple Trello boards to your preferred calendar app: <https://info.trello.com/power-ups/cronofy>

I know an external calendar is not ideal for you, but I wanted to let you know all of your options!

comments: author: Jessica May
body: Hi Chris, thanks for this, I will check out the Planyway power up, I had already come across Cronofy.

It seems odd to me that within a Trello account a user can't view their calendars all at once, to see their forthcoming Trello deadlines. If that could be fixed, that would be ace, and a great start. If that merged/global calendar could be exported that would also be great.

My problem is I work as an EA on a PC using Gmail, for someone who works on a Mac using ical. I need to be able to view all their forthcoming Trello deadlines, and personal appointments and, ideally be able to add things. I don't think there is an app that can do this yet.

Finally - why did Trello decide to call their calendar: icalendar...so confusing?!

Anyway thanks for helping me with some steps forward.

Much Appreciated.


author: Martha McCamy
body: [@Teddy](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/1187079) Is this still the case? Or is there now a way to do this without a third party calendar?
