Can I convert a checklist inside a card into a new card?

Question

I created a card with several checklists in it.

As the number of lists increased, I wanted to spin off some of them. I can convert one of the items in the checklist into a separate card, but I cannot convert the whole checklist into another card.

How can I achieve that?

Answer 1

Sorry, this is not possible. Though, we are working on copyable checklists, so you'd likely be able to copy the list to a new card.

Answer 2

You can select all the text of the checklist items, starting over the checklist to avoid the drag and drop area. Then, insert the text into a new card. Push enter on the keyboard, Trello will ask you to make single cards out of every line, say yes, then archive every second card with the c key. Voila.

Answer 3

You can create a new card, and when adding a checklist "Copy" any checklist from the old card. Then you can go back to the original card and delete the checklist.

Answer 4

Yes you can create checklist from checklist. Also Cards from Checklist

This is kind of a hack.

To start with follow these steps:

• Copy the list as the text selection

• Paste it in Excel (for windows) / Numbers (for Mac)

• Now paste data in the new checklist created [inside Add an item... textfield]. And Press Enter

• or to create cards. Paste data in new card and press enter

  • It will ask to create card for each. Press yes / Enter.

Answer 5

1. Open the card with check list
2. Press F12 to open browser console
3. Copy the code below and paste in console

4. ie. getListText(0)

   @param elIdx Index of check list on card (first list index is 0)

   @param order true | undefined [optional] Set to true if you want to add line number to result

Here the code

let getListText = (elIdx, order) => {
    const arr = []
    $(`.checklist:eq(${elIdx})  .checklist-item-details-text`).each((idx, el) => {
        const text = $(el).text();
        const ordering = (order) ? (idx + 1) + `. ` : ``;
        arr.push(`${ordering}${text}\n`);
    });
    console.log(arr.join(''));
}

and the result will appear in the console
