Why can't I reorder Trello Attachments?
Asked by Brian Carnell:

Okay, so Trello allows users to reorder attachments...but \*not\* if they are created by Attach From ... --\> Trello.  

Why? It seems so silly that I can rearrange every attachment \*except\* Trello attachments themselves.


Answers:
author: Iain Dooley
body: [@Brian Carnell](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/2775237) my guess is because the ability to attach cards/boards and have them show up as neat little graphics is much newer than the other types of attachments.

That's a great feature to add, though, you can request it here:

Import removes Trello cards after a few seconds
Asked by Michael Kummer:

I am trying to import 100 lines of text from an Excel spreadsheet into Trello as cards. After confirming that I'd like 100 cards created, Trello refreshes the list and removes numerous cards from the list.

It happens every time I try it. Has anyone else experiences this issue?

Here is a link to a video showing what I mean: <https://f001.backblazeb2.com/file/TemporaryFiles/A12E1C97-7B85-4A8D-9EC7-4678AB1F6115.mov>

author: Iain Dooley
body: [@Michael Kummer](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/2774404) have you tried doing it in 2 batches? I know that you can't create more than 100 card at once, potentially you have just over 100 cards OR when it actually goes to create the cards there's a funny character in there that results in more than 100 being created even if it appears at first that it will create exactly 100.

Try copying and pasting, say, 50 lines at a time and see if you have the same issue.

Power up developer
Asked by Kim Clark:

We love using Trello but want it to do more. We are looking for a developer that can either help us find the right power ups to use or develop one just for us. Where would we start to look for someone?

Thank you for any help or suggestions!

Kim Clark


Answers:
author: Iain Dooley
body: [@Kim Clark](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/1193119) hey there, I developed a framework called Trellinator that allows developers to create powerful automations for Trello using Google Apps Script:

<https://trello.com/integrations/#trellinator>

It's free and open source, so you can either find your own developer on Upwork or similar, or you can use the link in my profile to get in touch and I can handle that side of it for you.

You can also see how to set up and install Trellinator yourself here:

<https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Marketplace-Apps-articles/Introducing-Trellinator-Automate-Trello-with-Google-Apps-Script/ba-p/925271>

This system is slightly different to the power ups system, in that it acts as a "bot" -- a separate account that you add to your board in order to automate tasks. This can be combined with existing power ups or custom power ups in order to create powerful business systems using Trello as the platform.

add new column from the left side of board / reverse direction
Asked by ??????? ???????:

Is it possible to change direction of columns from right to left? E.g. "add column" button shall be at the left side of all columns added before.


Answers:
author: Torben_trello
body: While the "Add new list" option will be to the right of the last list you can double-click in any open space on the board background to create a new list. This will also give you the option to select a position of that new list. Would this be of help?

show start and end date on card
Asked by Tjerk Oomen:

I am using trello in combination with bigpicture for a ganttchart.

Is it possible to visualize the start and end date on the card


Answers:
author: Torben_trello
body: Currently, start dates are not supported within Trello natively. There are some 3rd party Power-Ups available, that can help to add another date for a card (such as a start date) if you like, however if you are using these Power-Ups we'd recommend reaching out to their support team for more information on the capabilities.

You might also consider using custom fields to add an additional date to a Trello Card: <https://help.trello.com/article/1067-using-the-custom-fields-power-up>
Please help, I have lost access to some of my boards.
Asked by John Hoxeng:

I suddenly have a few boards that I can't access on my desktop. Others are working normally.

I can see the inaccessible boards in the list, but when I click on the name the program takes me to a screen that shows the background but doesn't show the board title or any of the lists.

I don't have any teams, it's just me. A week ago, before I went on a trip, everything was working fine.

The problem is on my laptop running Windows 10.

On my iphone, everything works fine.

Any ideas? I tried rebooting and logging out and back into the account.

Thanks.

changer l'ordre de mes tableaux
Asked by pierric drai:

Hello,

I'd like to change the order of my boards because I want they appear by chronological order. And it's impossible to move the boards. They don't appear one after the other. So,what can I do ?

Thank you !

Pierric


Answers:
author: Jodi LeBlanc
body: Hi [@pierric drai](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/2768132) if you star each board (click on star in right bottom corner of each board until it turns yello), you can then move the boards in the order you would like by click and dragging and dropping them until they are in your order of preference.

Please let me know if this helps.  
Thanks,

Is there a way to limit some users (non admin team members) from archiving cards?
Asked by Mariah V:

Looking for a way to limit non admin team members from archiving the cards on boards, is this an option?


Answers:
author: Jodi LeBlanc
body: Hi [@Mariah V](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/2767470) unfortunately not at this time due to Trello's collaborative nature. This article talks about the permissions and various users. You could give them observer access, but then they wouldn't be able to comment, only view.

<https://help.trello.com/article/791-changing-permissions-on-a-board>

You may want to consider an internal procedure for your team where individuals move completed cards to a Done list, and each week the admin users can move the Done list to a separate board where only they have access. You could do this weekly or month and then name your list the week or month to keep record of what was competed each week or month.

You could also check the archives daily/weekly and talk to your team about the importance of them not archiving cards, until the procedure becomes habit for team members.

Hope this helps,

Thanks,

Answers:
author: Iain Dooley
body: [@Mariah V](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/2767470) you can do this in a way using the API, by unarchiving any card that someone archives who isn't an admin. This won't protect against malicious behaviour, though, because they can archive and delete faster than anything connected to the API can react.

But for protecting against accidental or inadvertent archiving the API is suitable. Here's an example of how to do it in Trellinator:

Slow/Lagging Trello Board - but only when I use one of my monitors
Asked by Todd Miles:

Hey all - just putting this out there in case folks have seen this. I know there are tips to help a trello board that is slow or lagging, this is slightly different.

When I use one monitor, the board is fine. When I switch to the second monitor, the board is slow (very slow typing, dragging, etc.).

Is anyone aware of specific settings to check on why one monitor might act differently than another.

Many thanks!


Answers:
author: Iain Dooley
body: [@Todd Miles](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/2766691) if you're receiving input lag due to a hardware driver problem on a specific monitor then it would show up in all applications, not just Trello.

It seems implausible that you could get an input lag on only one application by switching monitors but computers are pretty implausible things :) Have you tried other applications apart from Trello?

What platform are you using?


author: Jodi LeBlanc
body: Hi [@Todd Miles](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/2766691) I use dual monitors and have no issues with my Trello Boards slowing down as a result.

Here are a few other things to try to troubleshoot a slow board:

Also, it may be browser specific, perhaps try chrome or firefox to see if that will make a difference?

Remove Custom Field from a Specific Card
Asked by Jamie Campbell:

I am attempting to use custom fields to set up a board similiar to the one displayed in a recent Trello blog post: [https://trello.com/b/M0YqG8f0/daily-habits-goals-tracker.](https://trello.com/b/M0YqG8f0/daily-habits-goals-tracker.?)(You'll need to open the daily journal entry to see this and can open others to compare.) In that post the daily journal entries have fields for tracking habits that aren't applicable to any other cards on the board. I cannot make this happen. The custom fields display on all my cards across the board. I have set them so they don't display on the front of the card - nevertheless they are there when I open the card.

In this video: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0_pKe0zu3oc](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0_pKe0zu3oc?) the narrator shows a list (In Progress) where he has added colored custom fields to note priority levels but these don't show on other cards. In my Trello if I set it for display on front it is on all cards, if I uncheck the box it is absent from all card fronts but still on all cards.

I saw a response in the questions I think from Dean to Matthew that is stating this is impossible as Custom Fields are board specific and yet, clearly in both this video and the blog posts they are not showing on all cards. SO I don't care if I have to hide them or something, I just want to replicate this. I have multiple applications for this ability and it is very frustrating to see it and not be able to do it. He even talks about changing the button name, I can't do that either. (That might be in a different tutorial, he has a few). Is there an upgrade for Custom Fields or something I'm missing???


Answers:
author: Katrin Anger
body: [@Jamie Campbell](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/2765772)

It is true that once a Custom Field has been defined for a board, it will show up on every single card in this board - whether it gets a value or not.

I don't know how these videos you are referring to have been made. Boards could have been edited and the videos cut, leaving a wrong impression how it works.

But generally speaking, that custom fields are a status quo for each card once it has been defined. That is so.

comments: author: Demis D_ John
body: It looks like the discrepancy is explained here:

<https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Trello-questions/Remove-Custom-Field-from-a-Specific-Card/qaq-p/994683?tempId=eyJvaWRjX2NvbnNlbnRfbGFuZ3VhZ2VfdmVyc2lvbiI6IjIuMCIsIm9pZGNfY29uc2VudF9ncmFudGVkX2F0IjoxNjE5NzA3NDA0Nzk1fQ%3D%3D>

Something to do with viewing on iOS versus desktop, and being a member vs. observer of the board (where fields with no *value* will not be shown).

Creating pages using excerpts with REST API
Asked by rikiya_murakami:

Is it possible to create a page using excerpts with the REST API? Please tell me how to do it.


Answers:
author: Shannon S
body: Hello [@rikiya_murakami](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4367772),

Thank you for raising this question in the Community! You can follow this guide on [creating and updating content using the Confluence Cloud REST-API](https://developer.atlassian.com/cloud/confluence/rest/api-group-content/#api-api-content-get). You would need to create the page first and then update the content. In the content body, you can use the wiki markup example from the [Excerpt macro](https://support.atlassian.com/confluence-cloud/docs/insert-the-excerpt-macro/) documentation.

You can find additional parameters at the bottom of that page. I'll include the example below.

    {excerpt:hidden=true|atlassian-macro-output-type=BLOCK}This is the *text* I want to reuse in other pages. This text is inside an Excerpt macro.{excerpt}

I hope that helps, but feel free to raise a question with the [Atlassian Developer Community](https://community.developer.atlassian.com/) if you need further assistance!

Take care,

Uploaded plugin different from source code?
Asked by Chong Jing Hong:

Hi, I am facing a weird problem when uploading a plugin I developed. The uploaded plugin is different from localhost (atlas-run). I've checked the .jar/.obr file, and they contain the same code as the source code. However, when I go to test it on the server that I uploaded the plugin to, it looks different.

Uploaded plugin:

![Capture.PNG](/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/147464iA4C9A514F4573D21/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "Capture.PNG")

I've ran *atlas-mvn package* before uploading the .jar/.obr files. What's going on?


Answers:
author: Brant Schroeder
body: [@Chong Jing Hong](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4397702)

Looks like a CSS formatting issue and not a code difference. There is most likely some CSS on the server you are loading it to that is overriding your style. You should ensure that any styles you are applying have enough hierarchy to not be overridden.

New users are automatically subscribed to all space updates (watch default spaces)
Asked by Scott Beeson:

For some reason when I create a new user they are automatically set to watch 2 of our spaces. This generates a LOT of notifications. How do I disable this?


Answers:
author: Scott Beeson
body: Okay I just confirmed based on [@Shannon S](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/510046)'s answer. If you STAR a space DURING the welcome experience it also watches it. If you star a space at any other time it DOES NOT watch the space.

I do not like this behavior. Users are assuming that "starring" a space is just adding it as a favorite for quick access. Instead they are getting inundated with emails resulting in alert fatigue. Many users are setting up rules to automatically delete all emails from confluence. Not good.

comments: author: Shannon S
body: Hi Scott,

My apologies for the delay as I've been out. Thank you for confirming that behavior! I'm investigating now to see if there's already a feature request for this, and if not, I'll create one.

Take care,

Shannon


author: Shannon S
body: Hi Scott,

I appreciate your patience. I'm trying to record the behavior, but when I ran through the steps on my test site, I didn't get an option to star any spaces. The only option was to explore a space, but clicking one took me directly to the space. So I am watching the space, but it's the standard behavior, not the problem you reported.

![2021-07-02 17.14.48.gif](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/149891i56E54E0732C355B2/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "2021-07-02 17.14.48.gif")

Would you be able to show me an example screenshot of when you star a space and Confluence watches it? I want to send this over to the development team, but I need to share an example.

Thank you!

Shannon


author: Shannon S
body: Hello Scott,

Thank you for raising this question with the Community! I'm happy to help you.

Regarding those 2 spaces, are they the default spaces that new users are sent to when they log in? There's an action that automatically encourages them to watch the space, so I am curious if that's happening.

If you still have issues, have your site admin raise a ticket with [Atlassian Support](https://support.atlassian.com/contact) so we can take a look.

I look forward to hearing from you soon!

Take care,

Shannon
