Custom Buttons Not Appearing in Cards

[Tom Crawford]

I am using the Beta version of Trello and my custom buttons are no longer visible in my cards. It appears in one board but not on the second board when you create the card in the second board or move it from the first. Both were created in the same Workspace.

The custom buttons are tucked away in the small floating bar below the Card (which is terrible usability imho so don't shoot the messenger)

In general it feels like this new design was designed by people that clearly do not know what the word "Productivity" means 🙁

Exactly!

Hi @Tom

You are part of the group getting a view of the new card back that we are experimenting on. I appreciate the time to give us feedback.

The new card back does put the buttons that normally appear on the left in a menu. Buttons generated via Automation are available in that new menu bar.

[Samuel Talleux]

One of the reasons for custom buttons was to be faster and achieve things in less clicks. Now it costs more clicks. It would be very good at least to be able to bringt some buttons back to the card itself.

If there is no chance for that please give us a keyboard shortcut to open the icon where the custom buttons are now, so we don't need to navigate with the mouse to it.

Personally I don't see any advantage to this change, even if the cards look emptier.

100% agreed. This is ridiculous. With the new view, I often have a load of empty space. You are unnecessarily hiding things instead of just putting them in the space available!

[Gina Jorgenson]

Ok, I see that new menu bar but still don't see my custom buttons for use (I can see the automation I created but can't run them) HELP! This is NOT a good change!

@Beth French Sadly, while the new card design is a step forward, the location of buttons, which are aimed to enhance efficiency, have taken a step backwards and their new location negates their intended purpose. Conclusion, poor UI decision leading to poor UX. 

As a compromise, there could at least be the option to toggle card buttons like the 'discussion' so we can at least choose to show / hide them on the card. Hiding the option in a tiny floating bar is not only difficult to see, but also a floating bar is very outdated.

OR

Have a 'Flip' card button which allows the user to reverse the card to show more options / custom buttons etc. There's a dozen better options than the current design.
