Trello – Autocomplete/Suggest for Short IDs

trello

Trello supports referencing one card from the description and comments of another card by using the referenced card Short ID (more info here). The only way I currently know of detecting a card Short ID is:

  1. Entering into the card and looking at the "Card #" legend at the bottom of the right column.
  2. Hovering with the mouse over the card and looking at the last part of the URL. It might say something like "/22", so in that case the short ID will be 22.

However, both of those methods are quite uncomfortable when you're writing the description/comment for another card.

Is there any way of having Trello autocomplete/suggest the Short ID for a card, or help with the referencing?

Best Answer

When you are entering info on a card, type "#" then whatever your search term for the card is and it should start matching cards for you.

For example: #fix should find all cards that have "fix" in their titles for you.

With this, you don't have to know the shortcode.
