Field Copying in Trello: Set Up New Boards in Minutes

Setting up a new board? Want to reuse the structure from an existing one? With Field Copying in Board Assistant, it takes just a few clicks.
Here’s how it works — with real examples!

Copying Labels

Labels aren’t just colorful stickers — they’re your way of organizing chaos. And with this feature, you don’t have to recreate them every time you start a new board.

How it works:

1. Select one or more labels (pick exactly what you need).

2. Choose your target boards.

3. Click to copy — and you’re done!

Example:
You’ve got a “Marketing” board with labels like 🔴 Urgent, 🟡 Waiting for Approval, 🟢 Completed. Starting a new campaign? Just copy the same labels — no need to redo them manually.

Copying Custom Fields

If you’re using custom fields to track extra info like budgets, deadlines, or responsibilities — you’re going to love this.

Supported types:

• Text

• Dropdowns

• Numbers

• Dates

• Checkboxes ✅

Example:
Managing multiple projects where every card includes a “Budget” field? No need to rebuild that field again and again. Copy it once — and it’s ready to go on all your boards.

Copying Lists

Your classic “To Do”, “In Progress”, “Done” setup? It’s now portable.

Scenario:
You’ve built the perfect board structure. Now you’re rolling out 5 more boards for other teams. Use “Copy Lists” and the structure is duplicated instantly — no manual setup required.

Copying Field Groups

Want to copy everything at once — labels, lists, and custom fields? Done.

Perfect for:

• Creating templates

• Starting new projects fast

• Keeping teams in sync

Just choose what you want to copy, and Board Assistant handles the rest.

The Bottom Line

Field Copying is a small feature with big impact. Instead of rebuilding the same structure over and over, you just transfer it — effortlessly. It’s a real time-saver when your team is scaling or kicking off multiple similar projects.

Try it once — and you’ll never want to go back ✨
