Mapping of Trello Checklists to Planka Tasks

[christophenne]

Trello supports having multiple checklists in one card, and the check items (which would be the tasks in planka) belong to one checklist.

Planka does not support checklists, but only tasks on the card level - see https://github.com/plankanban/planka/issues/74#issuecomment-756114571 .

Options to implement the import:

a) merge all trello checkitems together, i.e. transform all checkitems of one card to one planka task (checklist organization will be lost if there are multiple checklists) b) add each checklist as a comment to planka with the corresponding markdown check formatting (then they won't be planka tasks, but the organization is not lost)

Of course this would only be a problem when multiple checklists are used in a Trello card, otherwise a 1:1 mapping of checkitem to task would not be problematic at all.

Hey @christophenne let me understand - Planka does not support having multiple checklists on a single card because:

• it is okay to have just one or...
• because the feature is not scheduled / developed / ready yet?

Hi @HighLiuk, I don't know to be honest, you would have to ask in the planka repo whether it is planned to support multiple checklists or not.

Right now the importer tool simply throws all of them together in the one planka tasklist, and the original mapping and order of the items is lost that way, which was good enough for my personal use cases.

Oh Sorry @christophenne I thought you were a maintainer.

No problem, no I just contributed this trello importer part.
