Mark your cards complete - due dates are no longer required in Trello! (Coming Soon)

[Kate Baucherel]

Getting used to marking dated items complete using the circle inside the card, but now there are completed lists where 'dated' cards have a green date and a green tick, and others neither as they were not date sensitive and this hurts my neurodivergent brain! It feels like adding an extra step where none was required. I'm sure you wouldn't have implemented it if it had not been requested by a majority, but this thread seems to show there are two types of Trello users and a large minority find it unhelpful. Checking off a date is important, but the board flow leans to completion being indicated by position. Will there ever be a way to simply check dates again rather than completion?

@Kate Baucherel the feature has always technically been there as part of the dir date. All they've done is detach it from the due date and beautify it. 

You can use automation to ensure that whether your check the box or drag the card to done, the outcome is always the same. Let me know if want a hand with that?!

@Dreamsuite Mike so does that mean I can automate cards such that any attached date turns green when I move to a Done list (I have one for every week of the year) but there is no visible tick?

My automation that moves cards based on a complete due date doesn't work with the items marked complete without a due date and now I see there's no option for automation that will filter cards based on if they're complete. here's my legacy automation
"every wednesday at 2:00 pm, create a report in variable "Done" with all cards in list "To Do" with a complete due date using pattern "- {cardname} - {cardcheckliststate}", send an email notification to "****" with subject "{boardname} Report for {date}" and message "These are the items that were done at {boardname} recently:\n\n{$Done}", and move each card in list "To Do" with a complete due date to the top of list "Completed""

This is showing no option to filter based on complete status

On similar topic as Rick above, for the scheduled automations, I only see option to archive each card marked as complete: 

It would be really great if we could also "move" each card marked as complete to wherever we wanted to. Can this be implemented?
