A teammate and I have created a small tool to modify the titles of the trello card in a trello board.
Technical description
It works by applying a function to the existing title (because we wanted to remove a prefix from the existing title).
The modification is done, not through the API, but simulating user interaction:
- Click to edit the card
- Input the new title
- Save
The full code is available here
Conclusion
This has been a great example of working with legacy code, as the tools to work with the existing product are not the ones you would like to have and an imaginative solution provides a way out of the tar pit.
