Trello Reporting Confusion
Asked by John Chambers:

So, i'm trying to email a report - i've created a dozen of them where i create a variable and pick the lists i want to show up in the report - nothing ever comes through - so i tried using the board snapshot - everything comes out fine - but i'd like to remove a few lists from the board is there a variable i can use to exclude a list?

maybe {$daily_remove} or something? I don't know, I am just trying to figure out:

A) why does mine not work  
B) and can i exclude lists from the canned report

Here's what mine looks like  
every monday, create a report in variable "mondayreport" with all cards in list "TIER 1 TASKS" in list "TIER 2 TASKS" in list "TIER 3 TASKS", and send an email notification to "john@notmydomain.com" with subject "Monday Report" and message "{$mondayreport}"

Thanks for sharing your report:  

> every monday, create a report in variable "mondayreport" with all cards in list "TIER 1 TASKS" in list "TIER 2 TASKS" in list "TIER 3 TASKS", and send an email notification to "john@notmydomain.com" with subject "Monday Report" and message "{$mondayreport}"

The above report uses the logic "AND" meaning that the card you chose should belong in all of these lists: "TIER 1 TASKS" **AND** "TIER 2 TASKS" **AND** "TIER 3 TASKS". And because no card can belong to more than one list, this will always return 0 cards.

We have an ongoing feature request where there is an option for the cards to be retrieved from different lists, e.g. cards from either "TIER 1 TASKS" **OR** "TIER 2 TASKS" **OR** "TIER 3 TASKS" --- if there's any additional info or use case that you want to share as to why this feature is important, let me know and I'll pass your information to the relevant team.

Right now, the option to select cards belonging to different lists is not possible when creating email reports until the feature request can be considered and prioritized. As of current, there is no ETA on this.

Hope this helps but let me know if you have any other questions!

Automation?
Asked by Carla Chan:

Is there a way to automate so that another checklist is automatically attached to the card when a change happens in one of the Custom Fields?   

So, we use our Trello board to track our Real Estate listings and have all our Pre-List and Listing and Post-List tasks on there. But if the price changes there are other tasks involved and I'm not sure how to automate that on the board so it updates it whenever a price update happens.

Help please?

You can definitely do this! There's a trigger for "when a custom field is set" and i think you'll want to use that, and then use the action for "add checklist" and you can specify a checklist from another card that should be added to that card, or you can just build the checklist by using the "create a checklist" action and then "add item to checklist", etc.

A card is not moved to another board
Asked by Yakov Algaev:

1. Until a week ago, the keyboard shortcut Ctrl+X worked fine. I could move a card from board A to board B. Now moving only works between lists on the same board.

2. At the same time I noticed a changed effect of highlighting the card when hovering over it. Now there is a stroke around the card, while before the card was darkened.

Are these changes intentional?


Answers:
author: Andrea Crawford
body: Hi [@Yakov Algaev](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5260066), Thanks for writing in! We are indeed making some infrastructural improvements to boards. The hover outline around cards is an intentional change, but the issue you're seeing with moving cards between boards is not intentional. Thanks for letting us know - I've passed this on to our engineering team so we can get it working again.

issue scolling on Slack power-up
Asked by Martin:

For some reasons it seems impossible to scroll down in the pop up window when trying to link a trello table to a slack channel. I tried on Chrome and Edge, the issue is on both browsers. I have been able to use it properly until today


Answers:
author: Beverley
body: Hi Martin - welcome to the community!  

Thanks for taking the time to send us that bug report; I was able to replicate the issue.

I've passed on the details of the bug to our development team so they can prioritise working on its fix. While I don't have an ETA on when a fix for the issue will be pushed, we will deploy it as soon as one is available.

In the meantime, you can still set up Slack alerts, but the workaround would be to continuously press the **TAB** key on your keyboard to move down the page and reach the bottom. Then you can select the other alerts you'd like to enable.

I hope that helps!
Google Chat Integration - Log
Asked by Brodie Zambergs:

Hi all,

We've implemented the google chat powerup and it works really well for the most part but we're facing one issue which may be how we've set our automations up.

We have a library of automations we've configured and one of our admin users will enable this on any new boards we create. The automation actions however in trello log originate from the automation user rather than the user interacting with the board at the time. i.e. if we have an automation that marks a task as "Complete" it shows the wrong user as it's actually the user interacting with the board that has done this so the resulting log (and chat) are nonsensical.

This produces a lot of confusion on the board. Any ideas on how to make this work without over complicating the automation library?

Thanks!


Answers:
author: Alina Kurishko
body: Hi Brodie,

Thanks for raising this up!

Since Automation rules are linked to user accounts under which they were created, there's no option to log them as performed by anyone else rather than the rule owner.

However, actions performed via card or board buttons are logged as performed by the user who clicked the respective buttons.

I'll pass your interest in changing this behavior on to our team for consideration---let me know if there's any additional info you'd like for me to send their way.

If you are curious about how our team decides which requests we work on, we have published a blog post with detailed information on this process here: <https://blog.trello.com/feature-requests-unite-support-and-product>

Is booklet by vince not working for everyone?
Asked by Chad:

Hi,

This week Booklet by Vince is not working for me and I when I do a search on the Trello Power Ups it does not pop up. Anybody know what happened?


Answers:
author: Alina Kurishko
body: Hi Chad,

Thanks for raising this question!

Taking a look, it appears that the Power-up has been removed from the Power-ups store, but I'm unable to advise on why. It might be that the developer discontinued the Power-Up support.

You could try reaching out to the developer directly, but I'm afraid I don't have any tips on how to contact them.

Alternatively, you could try checking the list of Power-Ups we have available that might be able to help you export a single or multiple lists from your board on this link: <https://trello.com/power-ups/search?q=export>.

Hope this helps!

How do I stop Trello from making a new list when it's meant to go into a particular assigned list?
Asked by Andrew Ehrensperger:

Whenever I add the 'Please Review' label to one of my cards, it's meant to go into the "Active Requests" list. It doesn't go into the "Active Tasks" list, instead, it creates a new list with the same name, even though there is nothing in the Automation which asks for it to do so. It also has a different name for some reason as "Active Requests". No idea how this can be happening, if there isn't an Automation asking it to do that, only for the card to be moved to an existing list.


Answers:
author: Alina Kurishko
body: Hi Andrew,

Welcome to the Atlassian Community!

I've just tried reproducing this issue on my account and it appears if you type in the title of a list that doesn't exist on a board, a simple rule like "when the red label is added to a card, move the card to the bottom of list "List" can indeed create a new list on your board.

I'd encourage you to make sure you choose the destination list from the options you see when creating a rule instead of typing in the title yourself (it might be you're pasting in an extra space that doesn't match the current list's title):

![Automation example.png](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/286198i31A95513197E5E59/image-dimensions/417x290?v=v2 "Automation example.png")

Also, it looks like there are several similar rules running on your board. Since Automation rules are linked to the account they were created on, I'd encourage you to check with other board members that they don't run the same rules as you do.

Hope this helps!

Trello card drag behaviour changed
Asked by Andy Lawson:

This morning I've noticed that the card drag behaviour has changed:

* Previously, I was able to drag a card into the clear space under the last list item and the GUI would "snap" the card to the list.
* When I release the mouse button, the card would move to the bottom of the snapped list.
* Now, the card does not snap to the list unless I position it over a card already present in the list.

Questions for Trello support:

1. Is this change reproduce-able at your side?
2. Is this change by design?

Thanks!

How would one go about preventing boards from being copied by members ?

How would one go about preventing boards from being copied by members? I understand that we can create private boards.

Birthdays on Calendar view
Asked by Erica:

How can I put birthdays on Calendar View. Do I have to use "due date".

If we have to use "due date", do we have to keep track of "overdue" manually for each birthday?

Thank you!


Answers:
author: Oliver S
body: Hi Erica, welcome to the community! :)

Yes, if you want a card to appear on the calendar view, it needs to have a due date defined: <https://support.atlassian.com/trello/docs/adding-dates-to-cards/>

Are you able to clarify what you mean by keeping track of "overdue" manually? Do you mean when the due date passes, doing something that stops the card from being marked as overdue?
Trello as Digital asset management
Asked by riccardoSofia:

In the past I used Trello. In my organization there was an approach where al the team connected to a single and dedicated board was in the condition of putting the digital asset and using trella like a sort of DAM.

Being a small team and above all a small project, the need was to manage few resources in terms of weight. Now I would like to propose the use of strand within a more complex ecosystem.

The enterprise license seem having an unlimited workspace. This means that I can consider a good choice Trello, also, as a DAM?


Answers:
author: Oliver S
body: Hi Riccardo, welcome to the community!

Want to be upfront that Trello out of the box is not designed as a Digital Asset Management Tool, rather it's a tool for work management and project management.

Trello is certainly customisable in that you can configure it to your desired use case - it would likely require some configuration and exploration of the features to see whether you feel it meets what you need. We have a range of different use cases for Trello outlined here: <https://trello.com/use-cases>

Our feature list and pricing page is available here. You can explore whether the built in features provide what you need for your use case: <https://trello.com/pricing>

Trello does have various Third-party integrations and Power-ups that can help enhance the built in functionality. You would likely need to explore these to see whether any of them fit in with your desired use case:

* <https://trello.com/power-ups>
* <https://trello.com/integrations>

Asked by JMJ:

Hi dear Trello PM and developers,

I read "[Searching for cards and boards \| Trello \| Atlassian Support"](https://support.atlassian.com/trello/docs/searching-for-cards-all-boards/) and it's very helpful.

Bug found for cleanup branches by using mercurial/graft?
Asked by Torsten Stach:

Inside bamboo configuration "Plan Configuration / Branches", there is an option to delete a branch within the repository after a certain idle time (e.g., 30 days). The rule only looks at the time of the latest source check-in/timestamp. When using a mercurial-graft, from another branch older than 30 days (eg 40 days) will delete the current branch. This behavior isn?t right. The rule must check the activity which was performed in the current branch and not the timestamp on latest source check-in.


Answers:
author: Daniel Santos
body: Hello Torsten,

I think you are right. From your description, It seems you've stumbled into this bug: [\[BAM\\-18460\\\] New plan branch is automatically deleted due to last commit date from the newly created branch](https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/BAM-18460).

As a workaround, I do suggest that when you create a new branch from a commit that is older than your expiry interval, please add a simple small commit to your new branch. The expiry job is usually configured to run at 3 AM so you will probably have time to add the new commit before the job is run. It doesn't look like a beautiful solution but is something you can do until we fix that bug.

Another possible workaround is to increase your branch expiry interval to a bigger value to cover your scenario.

I hope that helps!
