Possible to change all due dates on calendar to 5 am, at once?
Asked by L:

I set several months worth of due dates that went to the default 12 noon. Didn't pay attention because I just wanted to see them show up on their due day in the calendar. SInce then, I've created a Butler command that moves them to another board on the due date. Except that it does so at noon instead of in the morning.

Is it possible to change all due dates on the board at once to 5 am? I can't see how to do it in Butler, and I'm also on a free account which only gives you one command of each type and I already have a rule and a due date command.

-EDITED-

Never mind, I was mistaken and looking at the wrong date when I wrote this. It appears to be working fine now and feeding the cards over to the new board in the morning. I now have the due time set for 5 am for future cards. Don't see any way to delete this thread but moderator, feel free to delete it.

Report on cards completed
Asked by Joyce Carluen:

Is there a report of percentage on cards completed? If not, what reports are available?


Answers:
author: Mike
body: Hi Joyce,

Natively, Trello offers reporting via Butler---this won't exactly provide a percentage of completion, but it does offer a lot of customization to report on what you want: <https://help.trello.com/article/1192-creating-reports-with-butler>

Beyond that, I would suggest having a look at these Power-Ups to see if any would meet your needs: <https://trello.com/power-ups/category/analytics-reporting>
Conditional moving of card between lists
Asked by James Quek:

I would like to prevent a user from moving a card to the next list unless a condition is fulfilled

e.g all custom fields are NOT empty  
e.g one custom field is set to "Yes" in YES/NO


Answers:
author: Brittany Joiner
body: I don't entirely know a way of blocking someone from moving a card, but you could use Butler that moves a card back if those criteria aren't met.

Ie... make a "when card is in this list" and add filter for "custom fields blank", and an action of "move to x list".

EDIT: I just found [this power-up (Workflows for Trello)](https://workflowsfortrello.com/), I haven't used it so I can't really speak to it but it seems like it lets you set constraints for moving a card to a new list.
How do you add a image to the description of a card?
Asked by EarthyJacob101:

I've been looking up how to do this and all it shows is how to add attachments, which I do know how to do, but I don't know how to add a image or gif into the text of the card itself, can someone explain this to me?


Answers:
author: Alice
body: In order to add an image inside a card description, you have to copy and paste the following Markdown code:

**!\[A test image\](image.png)**

Where image.png should be the image URL, meaning that the file needs to be stored somewhere in order to be added to the Trello card. I hope it makes sense!

comments: author: Andy - PTC Redundant
body: [@Alice](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/1183955) : if other team members cannot reach the URL, they won't see the image, correct?  
E.g.: I used a closed OneDrive URL only I can access.


author: Alice
body: [@Andy - PTC Redundant](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/1182002) oh good point. Yes, the image must be stored somewhere public.


author: Andy - PTC Redundant
body: Thanks for clearing that point up! Appreciate it.  

For me this is a perfect answer.... [@EarthyJacob101](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/3605191) did it do the job for you? If yes, don't forget to accept the answer! ???


author: Micah Rodriguez
body: Is there a way to change the size of the image as well?


author: Tony Hadfield
body: Additional question - it appears I can add an image as an attachment, then reference that URL in the description to embed in the description. Furthermore, I noticed I can then delete the attachment, but the embedded image remains as the source image still appears to live on. Is this a valid way to go about this, will the image remain in trello (s3) storage after I delete it as an attachment?
Markdown Tables in Card Descriptions
Asked by dbjdbj:

There is no support for Markdown Tables in Card Descriptions in Trello.

Is there an extension that does it?

Answers:

upload
Asked by jac:

How can I bulk upload task from excel into cards in Trello ??


Answers:
author: Michelle Rau HP
body: I tried this, which works but doesn't create a unique card title: I used MS Word to perform a mail merge to send to the email-to-board email. It created the cards just fine but because you can't personalize subject lines using Word (unless you use some complicated add-ons), the card title came out the same for all of them.

The above solution can create unique card titles, I'm not sure if other columns are also imported.

There are a few add-ons and apps that can do a Trello import if you want to invest a little time/money.

You can copy multiple lines from a column in Excel and then paste that as Trello card names to create them in bulk: <https://help.trello.com/article/751-importing-data-into-trello>
Trello pricing: What is a user?
Asked by dw:

If I start a board and invite someone, do they need to have an account? Are they Observers or Members? For what functionality must someone be paid user?


Answers:
author: Jodi LeBlanc
body: Hi [@dw](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/3604372) if you start a board and invite someone they will need to have an account (unless it is a public board that you created and then they can view only). They would be a member. Observers are part of the business class and enterprise Trello plan. Here is a link that explains all of the types of members:

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

If you create teams, you can have up to 10 free teams. Here is an article that explains this in further detail:

author: Jodi LeBlanc
body: Hi [@dw](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/3604372) that depends how you are setting it up. If it is just 20 personal boards that you have invited 100 different people to view or join, I belive you could do that with a free account (however you may want to doube check). I encourage you to reach out to sales@trello.com to determine the best option for you, for example Trello Business class would give you unlimited powerups and a much large size for document upload.
Cards not showing up under lists
Asked by DJ Beenken:

I can see how many cards are attached to each list, but on my desktop, they are not showing up visible. I can see them on my mobile app though. Help!![Capture.PNG](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/69952iAD381276FC9F45FB/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "Capture.PNG")

It sounds like you have a search active, so not all cards are being displayed. Take a look at the top of the board, and look for the green button---you can click on the X to deactivate the search:

TRELLO BOARD TO PDF

Great question---exporting to PDF isn't a native function of Trello at all, I'm afraid. Natively, Trello can export to JSON (and CSV for Business Class subscribers). There are browser extensions available that can enable that for desktop-based web browsers like Chrome, but these won't be available for the iOS app, unfortunately:

Search card by tag @name

Thanks :)


Answers:
author: Mike
body: Hi Sophie,

There's not a direct way to search for that specifically, unfortunately! You can search for "@\[your username\]" which will get you the closest, but will most likely have a few false positives. I'll make sure the team knows you'd like to see that search option in the future!

Scanning Business cards directly
Asked by Peter Shaw:

Is it possible to directly scan a business card into a card so it creates the card and takes the information from it? I have not found an easy way of entering maybe 20 business cards as new leads easily. having to create a card then add an attachment is very time consuming.

Thanks


Answers:
author: Torben_trello
body: We do not have a specific Business card scanner. You can however take pictures directly out of the Trello mobile app that would then be attached to cards.

Another option might be using Emails to get the details or files into Trello: <https://help.trello.com/article/809-creating-cards-by-email>
Cards disappear in cards overview
Asked by Marcus Merz:

Hi guys! :)

Probably an old problem, but I couldn't find a solution...

After planning my cards a few weeks (or months) ago, they don't appear in my cards overview anymore. I think I can remember that it has something to do with the fact that I have not edited the cards for a long time.

Any ideas to solve my problem?

Have Butler remove ALL labels from card
Asked by itismejoey:

Hello,

I'm sorry if this question has been answered already, but I couldn't find an answer. I am looking to remove ALL labels from a card when a button is pressed. Because we have so many different label options for a card to have it's hard to add all of the labels to the button.

Thanks in advanced for the response.


Answers:
author: Esme Crutchley
body: Hi Joey

This can be done if you use the Butler Power-Up. You can create a card button that appears on the back of a card that you have open called (whatever you like really) 'labels gone' and if could look something like this:

![Screenshot 2019-10-19 at 18.57.02.png](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/69979i50CF257D9425A41D/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "Screenshot 2019-10-19 at 18.57.02.png")

So you would be able to add ALL the labels you have on that board to one button and then when you want to remove all the labels within a card, just click on the card and click on that button. It would show up on the right under 'Power-Ups' like this:

![Screenshot 2019-10-19 at 18.58.11.png](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/69980i06E7EAF68FD0AC25/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "Screenshot 2019-10-19 at 18.58.11.png")

Hope this helps!

Join Cover on linked card Butler
Asked by Ludo:

Hello

I use this Butler command :

"for each card linked from an item in checklist"

after I have created linked card from an item.

I want to copy the cover ++automatically++ from the trigger card to linked cards.

Does someone tell me how I can do this with Butler ?

Thanks.


Answers:
author: Mike
body: Hi Ludo,

This might be pretty tough, as Butler's support for attachments is a little limited. You can use the variable {attachmentlink}, which represents the *link* to the attachment file itself, but this is only available in rules like "when an attachment is added to a card". You can't directly copy attachments between cards, but if you base the rule off of when an attachment is added to the card, you might be able to reference the link in order to attach it again on the linked cards!

comments: author: Ludo
body: Hi mikelj,

Thanks for your answer.

I use this command :

```
convert all the items in checklist "Ok prod" into linked cards in list "Liste technique" copying labels
```

There is a restrictiv option

copying labels & members
```

Missing attachment copying option for my use.

I have a trello Gold account. I think I don't have permission to access to butler action allowing copy attachment link

How to export Trello Card's action information under activity section?
Asked by Danny Tu:

Dear Trello experts, I would like to find out a way to export those action information which sit under Trello card's activity section. For example, as shown in the image below, I would like to export "XX moved this card from WIP to Done on 13th Aug 2019".

I am not familiar with JSON export, what do you mean by "I need to make the connections between events manually"? Many thanks again.


author: Mike
body: Hi Danny,

What do you want to export those actions to? And what do you plan to do with it?

The JSON export is the only export that includes actions, so all of this is there, but it needs interpretation.

How do I make every card include a checklist?
Asked by Benji Cooper:

![Annotation 2019-10-17 145131.png](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/69831i6CDAEFE683F4ECC4/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "Annotation 2019-10-17 145131.png")I tried using this rule, but it is not working. I also tried making the trigger "when I add a card to the board" to no avail. To be clear, the "Steps" Checklist should be blank/empty, so I just need to create a card and click on it to add the steps.  

What am I overlooking?  

Thanks!


Answers:
author: Mike
body: Hi Benji,

When you use the "add the x checklist" action, that's looking for an existing checklist on the card and trying to copy it. This can get complicated when multiple versions of that checklist might already exist on a board.

Instead, if you're only trying to create a new, empty checklist on the board, you want to use the 'add an empty checklist named x' action, which will do just that:

![CleanShot 2019-10-19 at 15.09.19@2x.png](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/69982i93C659CAA5406E64/image-dimensions/505x78?v=v2 "CleanShot 2019-10-19 at 15.09.19@2x.png")

That should work much better for you!


author: Esme Crutchley
body: Hi Benji,

In my experience it's better to have the checklist specifically linked to make it work. I use mine to insert a checklist for my BodyPump workouts, so that I can see how I'm improving my weights, but the example works. This is how mine looks:

![Screenshot 2019-10-19 at 19.01.49.png](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/69981i703A83A6060CDDE9/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "Screenshot 2019-10-19 at 19.01.49.png")

The reason that I have this is so that if I change the checklist, the rule will bring in the most recent version of it. But also, if I create another checklist with the same name, Butler can't tell which one you want to have, so if you've got multiple checklists called 'steps' Butler won't be able to tell which one you want and won't copy anything.

If you have it pointing to a specific card, then it'll always know which one to copy over. I also change the name of the list to make it specific and add the date to the front of the checklist, but that's just me!

Hope this helps!

Merging Cards from different lists
Asked by Austin Mcmann:

Hi, Just curious if there is any way to merge the content on one card from two separate lists.

Ex. I have one card with multiple attachments and photos that I uploaded and wrote a description for. Another person on my team made a similar card without the attachments, but it has a checklist and different comments.

I want to know if there is a way to merge all of the content from the "Parent" card to a "child" card, I suppose.

Right now the functionality that I can see working is copying a card from one list to another, but this creates a brand new card with all the same comments and description from the "Parent" card. Even if the cards are named the same it still creates a separate one.


Answers:
author: Mike
body: Hi Austin,

Unfortunately, no, there isn't any way to directly merge two cards, because Trello can't make the decisions about how to merge each specific data piece, like what to overwrite and what not to. I'll definitely make sure the team knows this is something you'd like to see in the future, but for now, copying each element over will be the best way to go.

Is there a powerup for this?? ( KPI's / Reporting / Custom Fields Data )
Asked by Jeremy Colton:

I am using my trello for HR, in particular, recruiting new staff. We have a Kanban set up where we Qualify a candidate then send them through our process to Hired at the end e.g. Qualified, Sent Job info, Tel Interview request, 2nd Interview Request, Hired etc.

I would like my team to be able to record when they have spoken to (Created a new card for a candidate in the Qualified column) and taken all the info we need from the candidate.

They have KPI's in place amoungst other things of how many candidates they are speaking to per day (Cards creating / Interview requests / Hired). I would like them to know how many they have done per day / month and if they are hitting their targets.

I would like either custom fields that they could check once they have spoken to a candidate or moved them along the process, that would then record on a database or report that would help us identify if they are speaking to enough people and inturn doing their job properly, without having to manually go through and try and spot out of hundreds of cards what they have done that day.

Any simple ideas?


Answers:
author: Mike
body: Hi Jeremy,

Have you looked into reporting with Butler at all? Butler lets you define reports for essentially whatever criteria you want, so you could track cards assigned to people, and then further track how long they've been in certain lists and track those changes: <https://help.trello.com/article/1157-variables>

You can then put all of that data into a report, distilled however you prefer: <https://help.trello.com/article/1192-creating-reports-with-butler>

That could be a good option for you!
