How to Copy Cards Across Boards with Amazing Fields
When you copy a Trello card from one board to another, Amazing Fields automatically carries the field data along with it, but there’s one important step to make it work correctly. The destination board needs to have matching field configurations used behind the scenes, such as unique field identifiers, settings, to name a few.
This article covers both: how to copy a card across boards in Trello, and how to make sure your Amazing Fields data appears correctly when you do.
Before you copy your cards across boards
Amazing Fields identifies each field using a unique internal ID (for example, ABCDEF1234567). When a card is copied, its field data travels with it, but the destination board must recognize those same IDs to display the data. This is done by copying the field configuration from one board to another using the Copy Board Configuration utility.
- Open Amazing Fields Settings by clicking the Amazing Fields icon in the top-right corner of the board.
- Click "Board Settings / Utilities" in the left-hand panel.
- Under Copy Board Configuration, click "Copy Settings."
- Navigate to the destination board, the one you want to copy cards to.
- Open Amazing Fields Settings > Board Settings / Utilities on that board.
- Click "Paste Copied Settings."
Both boards now share identical field configurations. You can copy cards between them and all Amazing Fields data will display correctly.
Note: The Copy Board Configuration utility is available to Amazing Fields supporters only. If you're on the free plan, upgrade to unlock this feature, along with other advanced board management features.
Copying a card to another board
Copying cards across boards is a native Trello feature. Here’s how to do it:
- Open the card you want to copy.
- Click "Copy" in the card’s action menu (right-hand side).
- Select the destination board and list.
- Click "Create card."
Trello will copy the card and all its Amazing Fields data to the new board. For more detail on Trello’s copy feature, see the Trello support documentation.
