Different card templates on one board
complete

Would be great to use different card templates on one board.
We use different card templates for different assignments.
We are a designteam and for the onboarding process or briefing we use card templates to make sure we have al the information we need. Preferably on one board. Now we can only use 1 template on one board. So we have to make different boards or collections to use the different card templates, this makes it unnecessarily large and very cluttered.

With the Template editor you can now select what template to apply to each card when creating it.

Dovidas Baranauskas: Hey, Dovidas - is there any plan to allow application of a template AFTER a card is created? Possibly with an option to apply it without wiping existing information so you can rearrange that info into the new format?
Dovidas Baranauskas
Stephanie Krutsick: Not currently, but it would be interesting to know how you would want it to be. More as a separate menu to choose what to keep and what to overwrite, or just have the option for the description only, or only add new content everywhere without deleting what is already there, but then needing to delete manually if something is not needed?
Stephanie Krutsick
Dovidas Baranauskas: Just an option to overwrite or keep existing content would be fine; no need to overcomplicate at this stage.
Anything along these lines would be much easier to delete extra content than the current process where the only way to apply a template to an existing card and retain the information/hours/sizing/other fields is:
Create Automation To Apply Template When X Action Occurs On Card/Field → Open Existing Card → Select All → Copy/Paste Content To Another Location To Avoid Loss → Add Automation Criteria To Apply Template → Copy/Paste Content From Second Location Back Into Existing Card's New Template

Set Card Template Per Column
Richard Morton
The user should be allowed to set a card template per column, instead of the 'per board' limit. In our project we have asset creation card templates that are different between environment, prop and character. we also have a bugs column. so each type of card should have a different template.

This is exactly what I was saying in a different card. FAVRO could rebuild workflow to fulfill a lot of the feature requests listed here in the icanny.io feature request software. Steps and rules: "choose a template" for each column in workflow rules. If you have 3 columns and in column one you choose template 1 and the rest do not have a template chosen, column 2 and 3 keep the card the same. The limitations of the card must be as follows to ensure data integrity. "What was in card in column 1 needs to show on column two if template 2 was chosen for column 2. (etc. etc.)"

John Elpers: That would be perfect
