Trello – How to Quickly Move Multiple Cards to a Different List

trello

I'm reviewing a Done list that has been allowed to sprawl. I'm moving cards to Done (month) lists. This means I have to: (1) open card, review date; (2) click on Move; (3) click on the list dropdown, navigate to the target list; (4) click Move in the modal; (5) close the card; (6) mouse to the next card.

This is pretty terrible.

  • Drag'n'drop doesn't work, because I need to open the card first to review it.
  • The > < shortcuts don't help much, because I need to close the card after moving and mouse back to open the next card.
  • There's no keyboard shortcut to quickly move a card.

What would help:

  • a way to move the card I'm viewing with > without leaving the current list. Notification says "card X was moved", my view changes to the next card in the origin list.
  • a keyboard shortcut to move a card, with a widget that remembers where I last moved a card (then moving becomes M<cr>M<cr>M choose new list <cr>M<cr> …)

Am I missing a good way to do this now?

You should use the Butler function. It is limited in the free version but it's very helpful. Set an automation rule, something like:

when a due date not in this month is set on a card by anyone, move the card to the next list on the board.

It's really easy, Trello provides spinner options for creating rules.
