How can someone check off a task without it checking off the task for everyone in Trello

Question

I am a student and my teachers really want to use Trello. I really like the setup and I think it's great. The only thing that is super super frustrating is that as the student, if I want to be able to check off assignments I have to copy them to my own boards. That involves a lot of craziness.

First I have to create another board for each class, then I have to copy the little cards, and then I have to move them to the proper boards. Is there a way for my teachers to assign these tasks/cards to multiple people and then track who has finished it and who hasn't?

Answer 1

There's currently no way to do this directly through the user interface. If you feel comfortable with some light scripting, you can automate the board creation and card copying by using the Trello API, but otherwise, your best bet is to make a feature request.
