In some scenarios, you may want to transfer the property of one card into the title or the description of another. A common use case is prefixing the title of a child card (created via a business rule) with the title of the parent card.
To address this need, we've made it possible to insert a special string inside the title and the description. When the business rules engine detects this string, it will replace it with the property value of the card that triggered the execution of the rule.
For example, doing this, will copy the parent's title and will concatenate it with the rest of the title you've configured in the rule:
In the example above, if the parent's title is "Parent" the resulting card title will be "Parent | Child card #1".
Note: This feature is available only in business rules, when new cards are created. It is not available:
- When updating existing cards with business rules
- Within card templates
- Within custom fields
