How do dash cards work in the new Butler for Trello?

[Dustin Hodge]

I find Dash Cards to be very useful, but now that I can no longer add butlerbot to my board as a member and have to use the Butler Power-Up... I can't figure out how to create them. Help?

Looks like dashcards are available as a new power up in Trello now. https://trello.com/power-ups/6048e897c73d032a983e2a7c/dashcards

@Dustin Hodge DashCards aren't available in the Butler Power up as far as I'm aware (perhaps @Katrin Anger can confirm).

I have replaced mine with a card count at the top of a list like:

List Name (5)

This is the Trellinator code that makes it work:

You can see how to set up Trellinator here:

I know that there were plans to create a 2nd plugin that could deal with the functionality of dashcards. But that was before Butler was acquired by Trello.

With the Butler Power-Up, you cannot create dashcards at the moment.

I don't know whether these plans re: the dashcard plugin are still worked on. It's probably best if you ask the Butler/Trello support.
