Copy Custom Field Data via Automation between Boards

[Anthony]

Does anyone know how to solve this problem?

I need to move a card into a list with a custom field set and for each card attachment (over multiple boards), copy the custom field value.

The automation will work within the current board, but not over multiple boards... the logs simply say it has been cleared on the attachments.

I know the rule works as if I manually enter a value for the custom field within the automation, it will copy through.

Thanks,

Anthony.

Hi @Anthony ! Are you able to share the command you've set up? As far as I know, the {customfieldvalue} variable only works when the trigger contains the custom field. E.g. "when X custom field is set, for each card linked in the attachments, set custom field X to {customfieldvalue}."

When a card with custom field "Site Address:" set is added to list "IFC Ready for production", for each card linked in the attachments, set custom field "Site Address:" to "{carddescription}_{{%Site Address}}+{{%Field Name}}_{customfieldvalue}="

The result I get for each linked card is: 

_+_=

Obviously "Site Address:" is filled with content and every variable used all displays a blank. Thoughts?

I have worked it out. It will not action upon a moved card trigger, it will only work if the custom field has been set.

I will have to change my process to accomodate your answer above. 

Thanks,
