How can I include mirror cards when a filter a board by label(s)?

[Scott Stilson]

You folks do appear to have recently enabled viewing mirror cards when filtering by just about any other possible filter, such as card member. However, despite the presence of “Also unable to search mirror cards based on labels” in the User Problem section of that Jira issue’s Description and that issue having been marked Closed, it is still the case that none of the labels assigned to mirror cards appear among the Labels filters in the Filter cards menu:

Upon further troubleshooting, it appears that if I manually add the label by which I wish to filter natively to the board on which the pre-labeled mirror cards sit, then that label both appears among the Labels filters in the Filter cards menu and, when clicked in that menu, results in the mirror cards so labeled being in the filtered view. That, I suppose, is a temporarily acceptable workaround. 

However, since there is no way to add labels across a workspace, or even to copy sets of labels to other boards, then the absence of the automatic addition of labels to boards, as happens when you copy or move a regular card to a board, necessitates unnecessary admin overheard. How many times will I need to manually add the same set of labels to boards?

Hi Scott, 

Thanks for sharing an update! While testing this behavior, I came to the same conclusion. 

While the requirement to recreate labels does make sense in a way (as the card technically doesn't belong to your destination board), I see how this might be causing trouble. 

I've relayed your comments to our product team to see if this behavior can be changed in the future. 

Thanks again for your input! Your feedback helps us improve Trello every day! 

 Hope we can introduce more meaningful changes soon, but that you'll keep enjoying Trello with this temporary workaround.

Hi Alina,

We’re facing the same issue as Scott described earlier.

I’d like to check if there are any upcoming changes or planned improvements in Trello to address this problem.

Maintaining consistent labels across mirrored cards is crucial for our workflow, and any insights or updates would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance!

Hey Raïna,

Thank you for sharing your experience and adding your voice to this request! We understand how important consistent label filtering is for workflows using mirror cards.

Right now, we have an open feature request for this improvement (TRELLO-1370), and our product team is aware of the need for better label support across mirrored cards. I've added you as an official "+1" in support of this as well!

While we don’t have a specific timeline to share for when or if this enhancement will be implemented, your feedback is valuable and helps us prioritize future updates. In the meantime, the current workaround is to manually add the needed labels to the destination board. 

Our product team generally updates feature requests like TRELLO-1370 when we have news. The fastest way to be updated is to click the vote and watch option on this feature request. That way, you'll be notified when we have an update to share.

We appreciate your patience and encourage you to keep sharing your thoughts with us!
