Template Variables are a way to automatically copy selected information from a parent card to certain child cards. This is done by including one or more of the following placeholders in a template card’s “name” or “description” fields.
Whenever a template is attached, placeholders are replaced by the value given in the following table:
| Placeholder | Replaced by | Other effects |
|---|---|---|
| {{parent:name}} | parent card’s name | – |
| {{parent:desc}} | parent card’s description | – |
| {{parent:labels}} | empty string | Copies the parent card’s labels to the child card |
| {{parent:members}} | empty string | Copies the parent card’s members to the child card |
| {{parent:due}} | emptry string | Copies the parent card’s due date to the child card (read below to get important additional info on this one) |
With {{parent:due}}, you can optionally append a time span to shift the date by, e.g. {{parent:due-1w6h}} will set the due date of the created card to be one week and six hours before the parent card’s due date.
Allowed time indicators are y (year), ‘M’ (month), ‘w’ (week), ‘d’ (day), ‘h’ (hour), and ‘m’ (minute). You can have ‘-‘ (before) and ‘+’ (after) as modifiers before the interval.
