My team manages a board where every card is equipped with at least 7 checklists. Recently, our Automation stopped functioning correctly. According to this article I found ("Too many checklists" (403) error - #2 by aleksg), it seems this issue could occur due to boards having a large number of checklists, with a limit currently set at 5000.
Removing checklists from our cards isn’t feasible as they are essential for our workflow. It would also be a monumental task to remove checklists from archived cards.
I’m curious if there’s a solution available for this issue. Thank you!
Anyone? Seeing this issue popping up once in a while for Trello user.
I am curious if there a workaround for this. Thanks!
If you search this forum for “Too many checklists” you’ll see where the question has been asked before, and the answer provided.
Alternatively, Google “Trello Too many checklists” to see where the answer has been provided over on the general Community forum.
Hey! Thanks for the reply!
The problem is I already did. Right now I am trying to export the Trello board as JSON or CSV, and I am facing the same issue. Either the power-ups/extensions suggested in other posts are mostly not working or outdated, or I have to get a paid one (which I am not sure if it works since Trello has that 5000 checklist limit).
I hope there is a solution to this.
If you did read the articles, you could have come to only one irrefutable conclusion… that there is only a single, solitary, inescapable, absolute ‘solution’… you must reduce the total number of checklists in the cards / board below the limit.
If this means deleting checklists from cards, then so be it. If this means deleting archived cards that have checklists, then so be it.
Let’s consider this to be a definitive enough answer to close the discussion.
Have fun.
That’s very sad to hear. Maybe just to add more information about my current status.
- Automation won’t work, when ran, here’s what I get.
Trello error: Request could not be fulfilled. Too many checklists in cards load.
The command finished running.
- Can’t Export as JSON (please forget what I said about csv, I am using a browser extension for that), this message will show up:
{“path”:“cards”,“originalMessage”:“Too many checklists”,“originalStatus”:403}
Understood that there is a limit for a reason but we have too many cards on the board to manually delete the checklist one by one (we probably have like 1500+ achieved cards).
I wonder if there is a efficient way to remove checklists from archived cards if you know.
Thanks!
