I am trying to figure out if I can see the board name through the cardlink function.. I have multiple boards with the same list names but each offer different views for different groups. Currently I do not want to write an automation for each board and instead rely on where the parent card is on a particular list. This is my current automation which works:
when a card is moved into list "Completed", remove the yellow "Backlog" label from the card, remove the dark yellow "In Progress" label from the card, add the light green "Completed" label to the card, find a card titled "{cardlink}" on board "TEST GEO", and move the card to the top of list "Completed" on board "TEST GEO"
So instead of calling out the board I was wondering if I can instead have that as a variable dependent on where the cardlink is on any board? Is there a wildcard or variable to call out that information in automation?
Thanks for your help!
You can use {cardlistname} and {cardboardname}, but I have found these don't work well when you look up cards.
You can bake those into the names/descriptions/custom variables of the cards and use them that way, though. For the list names:
when a card is moved into list {*}
You can then refer to the list name as {wildcard1} and put it somewhere on the card if you find that {cardlistname} doesn't work directly.
Using cardlistname, cardboardname, and wildcards, there's a few ways you could approach this.
Hopefully I am tracking what you are saying... So would this be what you are talking about?
when a card is moved into list "{*}", find a card titled "{cardlink}" on board "TEST GEO", and move the card to the top of list "{*}" on board "TEST GEO"
