Thank you Scott. That really was one of the best tips for Trello. Now you can see the overview in the project card and distribute the tasks in the board according to urgency or status.

Hi and thank you so much! I used your game changing tip and I have one further question: Is it also possible to set the due date on the project card in order to set the due dates automatically to the linked checklist items. I try for much hours and didnt find a working butler solutuion.

@estherhetherington1959 8 ай бұрын

this worked well with the exception that the tasks do not appear on the "Tasks" list showing the due date. How do I get my linked tasks to show the due date so I can click complete from the tasks list rather than the Sub- Tasks?

The project cards have some custom text fields cardname, program. Is there a way to add the cardname field from the project card to the task card? Is there a way to copy the program field from the project card to the task card?

Thank you so much for this! I have done this but I have many sub tasks across various projects. Therefore, when I apply your automation the sub task have the same names. Is there a rule where I can automate adding of the label from the (main) project card to the converted card. I would be grateful if you can help. I just can’t wrap my head around it!

@nitatutoring4626 7 ай бұрын

I usually add: {checklistitemname} - {cardname} to the title of the new card and Original card name: {cardname} Original card link: {cardlink} Checklist name: {checklistname} to the description of the new card

@Simpletivity 10 ай бұрын

Within the automation, you can choose to have them appear on other boards. However, you would most likely need to create specific checklists for each desired board.

I really wanted to use this power up. You did a good job walking us through it. However, I'm a little unsure about the cost. I see that when you make a change, the sync happens immediately, and the Unito plans show that there are only two options with prices that get you that sync timing... the 14 day trial which is of course free and the Business plan that costs $1,439/month. I feel like that's just incredibly too high. Why so high? Who's buying this? Even the basic plan starts at $65 and that comes with 15 minute sync delays. Who wants that?

@FedericoAccardo Ай бұрын

This is an amazing tip! Is there a way to create a rule that will assign the same label present in the card containing the checklist on the created cards? I only find a rule that ask you to assign a specific label but this won't work

Great question. Yes, you could set this up so that the added checklist items create cards on a different board.

this has been the most understandable guide to using trello. I have a follow up question. is it possible to un-checkmark the parent box if the child is un-marked done? suppose someone needs to do revisions on the task so it gets moved back into rotation.

@Simpletivity 5 ай бұрын

While I haven't created this particular setup myself, I do believe it is possible with Trello automation.

@andrewtucker4282 Жыл бұрын

Love the tip but how do the dates show up on the new cards?

@Simpletivity Жыл бұрын

Great question. In this example, the due dates on the new linked cards are generated by an automation (i.e. all new cards in the Tasks list will have a due date of 3 days from today).

@assuncaoraissa 4 ай бұрын

The best Trello tip I"ve ever seen! A question: can you do it the other way around? Can Trello replicate a card into a checklist and make it an item? I've been dying with this cause I use cards for Titles mainly and there's not as much you can automate if it's a checklist item. Please help hahaha

@Simpletivity 4 ай бұрын

Thanks for the question! While I haven't tested this out myself, I do believe that it is possible. You would just need to specify the rules such as 'every new card in this list' or 'every card with this label' would become a checklist item in a particular card.

@arthurkriklivy5859 3 ай бұрын

Can I also make it so that deleting a checklist item in the parent task also archives the linked card?

Can i add this automation for a sub tasks? Ex: Projet (create manual) > Tasks (create automatic when i add in tasks of project)> Sub tasks (create automatic when i add in sub tasks of tasks). Thanks for content ❤

Great question, Azzedine. Yes, since this automation is all based on the name of the Checklist(s), you could setup exactly what you've described here.

A great automation to convert checklist items into linked cards. What about moving these linked checklist items into different checklists (for organization). The link is retained, but then the "complete" automation is broken, correct? Any way to keep this functional?

Hmm, great question, Matthew. I'll have to investigate this some more.
