How to do a global change of due dates in a copied board?

[Siew-Sim Lim]

An existing board would have a set of due dates applied to all of its cards.  After it is closed a copy of it is made so as to replicate all tasks (cards) with only the intent to change due dates.  How can a global change be made to all due dates based on a specified start date that then would increment all due dates accordingly? 

E.g.  the earliest date for a board that is closed is 1st Feb.  The next earliest date of the copied board is 1st June.  It is desired that all dates in the board be incremented automatically by the number of days of difference between 1st Feb and 1st June.  Is there a functionality to do this automatic incrementing?

Ok, take a step back, because there's a couple of fundamental points that need explaining before we can explore this much.

• Jira does not have a function to copy a board.  How are you doing this, and what do you think you are copying?
• A board is not a container of issues, it is a view of them.  If you change a field on an issue that you can see on board X, then it will change on all the other boards that include that issue.  Because they are all viewing (and allowing change of) the same object.

So, given those two points, could you have another look at your requirement and explain it again, allowing for them?

Ah, thank you.  I must have come to the wrong place for my query but saying that -  reviewing Trello's functionalities and exploring where to go with it, I found "Contact us" then "Ask the Trello Community". 

So I've landed on a Jira forum (and apologies, am new to both Trello and Jira).  Where could I go with this query for Trello?  BTW, I thought one could copy boards in Trello but that might have been a misread from somewhere.

Thanks!

Ah, actually, you are in the right place.

But.  You put this in the Jira collection, with a Jira tag, talked about boards, cards and due dates (all Jira things), and there is nothing in the question to even suggest Trello over Jira.  This is not your fault, there are a lot of things they have in common.  I've worked purely off the incorrect label, as I had nothing else.

In this case, I would strongly recommend that you ask the same question again, right here in the community!  But tag it with Trello, not Jira.  And say Trello in the body of the question to make it even more clear.

Brilliant!  Thank you so much..
