Overview

Card containers are one of card elements that allow you to create a group of any cards you want to have on hand while working on the current card. You can fill the card container with any existing cards you have access to. Nothing prevents you from adding cards from other spaces.

You can create multiple card containers and name them any way you like. Card containers behave like a standard card element, so you can arrange or collapse them at will.

Cards can be freely added and removed from the card container and there are no consequences for the relations between them.

Adding a card to a card container does not mean creating a relation between the cards.

Cards that are subcards for the current card can be found in the Subwork tab (the old child card group).

The cards in the container can be displayed in the form of a classic list, as you may know from the subcard group. You can change the order of the cards by dragging them up and down.

You can display the same cards in table format by changing the display settings on the card container. The table columns can be customized for the card’s needs. There are 4 fields that you can choose from.
