Convert a Checklist Task to a New Card
Turn any checklist task into its own card—without retyping. Perfect for when a sub-task grows into a bigger piece of work that needs its own space, owner, and workflow.
How to Convert a Task to a Card
- Open the card that contains the checklist item you want to convert.
- In the Tasks section, click the task you would like to convert.
- On the bottom row of task actions, click the Convert task to card icon (fourth icon, looks like a card).

- In the Convert task to card window:
- Board & Column: Choose where the new card will be created.
- Title: Edit the text if you want to change the new card’s title.
- Template (optional): Pick a Card Template to pre‑populate fields.
- Label (optional): Apply or change the initial label.
- Link (optional): Keep a two‑way link between the original card and the new card.
- Show more (optional): Access additional card options.

- Choose how you want to finish:
- Convert — create the new card and stay on the current card.
- Convert & Edit — create the new card and open it immediately in edit mode.
What Happens Next
- The new card appears in the selected board and column with the title and options you set.
- If you chose to link, both cards will display a link to each other.
- The original checklist task remains on the card until you remove it.

Deleting & Data Safety
- Deleting the original task after converting does not affect the new card.
- Deleting the converted card will turn its link on the original card into a view‑only reference and show it as a deleted card.
