Reviews & Comments of Multiselect for Trello chrome extension

This extension is great, except that it doesn't work on lists that aren't on screen when the page loads. If you have to scroll to the right, there's no way to use multiselect on those lists. Still a useful extension that adds behavior Trello should have natively!

Great

Really wish it worked! It's a great idea! But it doesn't work. Womp womp. :-/

Used to be a great extension and used to work; unfortunately, no longer works with the new trello interface in 2022. Developer has seemed to stop caring much about it as well, unfortunately. Too bad. Hope someone codes a replacement soon!

Unfortunately, it no longer works with the new Trello update.

Couldn't move multiple cards

Doesn't always work. I need to refresh the tab for the tick boxes or Action box to show. Sometime it ticks the box when I am trying to open the card. Great and very useful when it works.

Almost 5 stars. Feature-wise, this is a great app and worth the money. Where it falls short is in the UI. This extension doesn't play well with other extensions in the UI. the checkboxes don't appear in a great location on the cards or lists. The `Actions` button covers other buttons from other extensions. I have sent a message to the developer but haven't seen any response... It would be great if this could work well with other extensions like `Trello Cards Optimizer` and `Trello List Resizer`

It use to kind of work (sometimes had to reload the page) but recently it doesn't work anymore

This doesn't load all the time so I can only use it when it's working... 5/5 when it loads but seems to not be working when I need it most.

Was a great extension. Now it just "spins" with the action icon and never does anything. This is with the current 7.1.0 version.

Very glitchy It's good when it works. The thing is to get it to work. The time it saves, I then waste reloading the board. For the price, I don't expect to have these kinds of issues. Reloaded my board 6 times in the past 15 minutes.

When this extension works, it's great. The problem is I can get it to work about 15% of the time.

I don't often write reviews but this is a tool that just needs shouting about. It adds a functionality that you'd expect that's just not there.

This extensions fulfills what Trello missed to implement: A multiselect and execute commands on this selection; from deleting many unwanted cards over moving many selected cards to adding a checklist to many cards. What is missing: Merge Card Checklists: this command would integrate the checklists of the selected cards into one target card. Thank you for your work.

Adds a very needed function to Trello.

Horrible extension, wish I could get my money back. Have to refresh Trello after every use and moves cards that haven't been selected! Was really excited about this idea but unfortunately the execution isn't great. would not recommend!

Great idea but I'm using it to separate one board into many so they load quicker. I have to refresh frequently to get the check boxes and the Action menu working but when I come to move all cards only the recent boards are showing, not all of them so I can't move the cards! Not working for the purpose I need it.

The concept of this extension is great but every time I use it, there are issues. This is typically with selecting all cards, it won't select them all. Some cards don't come up with a check box at all. Disappointing that I have so much trouble with it.

I'm unable to get this extension to work more than 50% of the time. The function (when working) is awesome, but unfortunately unreliable. There's been mention that this should be fixed per an update? But I'm not sure where this can be accessed. Anyone having consistent success with this?

Love it. Saves so much time, we're talking hours for me! Would like to see a move function where you check cards and then drag the batch to a new spot within a list, rather than only the move to "Top" or "Bottom" options currently available.

I paid for this plugin about a year ago and was very happy with it. Since then, it's gotten slow - both in terms of load time and how long it takes to do actions. I'm writing this review while waiting on 20 cards to move from one column to another. It's taking about 3 minutes. Might as well do it manually at that point.

It often does not work when applying actions to multiple cards. Nothing happens when you press the Assign button. Sometimes it does work. This is very frustrating though as it's a gamble whether it's going to work or not when you click the button. If it works 50% of the time it is a lot. Sometimes it's actually quicker to just go and manually assign things to cards one by one rather than wait for the extension to do it (or rather hopefully do it). As I paid for this app I am very disappointed that it is so unreliable in its functioning. When I pay this much for a browser Extension I expect it to work perfectly every time, not less than half the time...

Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. I get the select box, but the action menu fails to load.

Works super slowly. Still have to do a bunch of clicks to drag cards over. Switching to kanban flow. There should be a trial so we can know if it works

I wish I had read the reviews before purchasing this extension. It has worked once for me after trying more than 20 times. Even refreshing doesn't work. It seems to be ok when you only want to copy one card and you don't need an extension to do that in Trello. This is the only extension I have had to pay for and its the only one that doesn't work. Just a suggestion to the developer....make sure it works and does so consistently before charging people. Once you have it working people will be happy to pay for it. Right now I just feel ripped off.

Used this extension before without any issues but as many of our Trello projects are annual we don't use it so much but it was a great time saver when checklists needed to be unchecked when we wanted to reuse a board. Unfortunately we just can't get this to work anymore, we have tried all of the usual fixes uninstall, refresh and disabled AV but it will not work at all.

The idea is very good but unfortunately stopped working for me after a day of use.

I've used this extension in the past and found it very useful, but I've restarted the extension several times today and it's still not doing anything - I'm not even seeing the checkboxes.

It's super convenient when it works. Nearly every time I try to use it, I run into an issue. Today, the ACTIONS button won't open so the tool is not helpful. I am using 6.1.0.

I was forced to re-purchase this extension a 2nd time... as I wasn't getting updates for this extension, and my version remained broken. I contacted the developer about this a while ago. When they eventually responded, I was told that it should update on it's own. I wrote back explaining that mine isn't updating, nor can I re-add it after the initial purchase, but I've gotten no further response in weeks. (Obviously I purchased the extension, otherwise I couldn't leave a review.) The extension is useful otherwise, but the developer should have better customer support, if dealing with paying customers. They could have simply helped me get updated to the latest version (send me the CRX or whatever needed be).

I'd prefer not leaving negative reviews... because this does seem like a useful extension. However, this currently does not work at all, for me. The extension is throwing JS errors (in Chrome Dev Tools Console). For some reason also, I seem unable to update/auto-update this extension to the latest version, despite paying for it. I did contact the developer a couple of days ago (explaining everything, and the specific errors), no response yet (I'll upgrade my rating once I receive a favorable response from the developer).

I bought this extension years ago, and have waited for it to start working or be fixed, or anything, and it never has. Does not work, slows down trello boards, less that worthless. Please somebody make a working extension or tool that does this function as it is highly needed!

Love this extension, definitely reduces a lot of touch points. The only issue I have is sometimes I have to refresh the page because the Action button does not appear or it takes a while for certain options to appear. Otherwise this is a life saver.

Any way to change the due dates of all selected cards, without changing the times? Want to keep due times of all cards 30minutes apart to sync with calander. Also some cards are unable to be selected?

I manage boards containing hundreds of cards, so I don't know what I would do without this plugin.

Paid for it and it multiple selects, but when I drag it only moves one at a time. It doesn't move my selection??? Is this a bug? No instructions on how to move multiple, it isn't doing that even when selected :( Still having to drag tediously slowly one by one :(

Doesnt work 70% of the time. It's very frustrating.

Doesn't work for me after 30 cards or so. I have to delete my history etc in order for me to reuse it again. I am really unhappy that I spent 6.99 for something that hasn't helped me much.

This is a great extension, however, as soon as I installed it another Trello extension stopped working, (it's on of my favorites) Trelabels. It could be Trelabels it could be Multiselect.

Soooo needed. Has sped up my workflow for a bunch of task tremendously! I was experiencing some issues with the extension loading as noted below, but the developer was *extremely* responsive and sent out a bug patch in less than 24 hours after contact and now I'm not experiencing the problems anymore.

I loved it but suddenly it stopped working. I cannot select cards. Hopefully a update will be release soon and I can start using it again.

Great time-saving add-on, however myself and another colleague who use it also have the problem where it doesn't always load. Also recently too (Jan 2019/Dec 2018) it seems to have been causing the Trello tab to crash. I wasn't sure why the tab kept crashing, but when I disabled this add-on the problem went away. For now I've had to disable it permanently until this problem is fixed.

LOVE the idea so much that despite the recent reviews of recent glitches I purchased. But, unfortunately, didn't work for me either. I was trying to move multiple cards at once - less than 10 at a time.

Its a great concept, but the extension doesn't always appear, sometimes have to refresh a couple of times. In addition, after selecting the cards and pressing the final button to move the cards, the page freezes and becomes unresponsive. I have the planyway extension running in addition to this one and the other power up I have going right now is the google docs powerup.

If this worked all the time I would LOVE it! I need to reload several times & it still doesn't always work. Can other power-ups conflict with this? Is there a workaround or something I'm doing wrong? I'll give it one more chance, I want to believe!

doesnt always work. which is annoying because you find out after selecting like 30 cards....

Definitely so useful! I had over 300 cards in my list that I had to delete (rather than archive) and Trello's standard method is so tedious. Watching Multiselect crank away and delete them was like magic. Automation in the computer age! Who'd have thought? Nice job and I look forward to using this Trello tool for a long time!

Unable to muti select using command + click. There is no Action button.

Due to an internal reshuffle, I had to label & move about 1000 cards... with this tool it took me a couple of hours. Without I would have spent the whole weekend on it!

this is a horrible ext. crashes all the time. have to refresh and restart computer for it to work. not worthwhile

Bulk adding of attachments please

life changing

Every time I open a card it selects it! Is there any way to have it only select the card when I specifically click the checkbox rather than anywhere on the card?

so usefu thank you. I wish there was something as light and easy to use for adding dependcies

I think I was one of the first people to purchase this app. INCREDIBLE! Very lightweight and easy to use. The functionality of this extension alone has turned what would normally take me days of work into minutes. The other thing I love you is how nicely this Extension works with others. For example, if I want to prepend text AND I have the "PRO" for trello extension active, I can just add "Project | " as the prepended text and all of a sudden I am bracketing off tons of cards into sub-categories/ projects. AND, In reply to the automatic "uncheck" request. believe that all the cards remain checked because it's a great deal easier to go in and request to un-check them all than manually re-select every card or add/ subtract cards for a sequential modification. Just a quick "command R" and they are unselected. As a long term user, the fact that everything remains checked is a HUGE plus. This is by far the BEST Trello extension I have ever used (huge Trello extension junkie). Multiselect absorbs that ENORMOUS window of time anyone would spend doing redundant/ mundane/ repetitive tasks inherent to the limits of Trello's functionality.

Excellent - very elegant solution to frustration of not being able to bulk change cards

Amazing extension, so glad I found it!

Works great!

I use it every day!

Very promising and has the necessary flexibility. One suggestion is to have an option where the cards uncheck automatically after a change is assigned rather than having to go again Actions button to uncheck all. Well done.

wow so cool, love this extension! well worth the price :-)

Saved me loads of time well worth the small charge.

Kinda has a janky UI with the floaty browser default checkboxes and I have to refresh the page every time I update the labels because the Actions menu displays underneath the cards. Strange bug. But ultimately, it works for my needs.

Total Game Changer for saving time.

When it worked for me, I had not problems.

Useful plugin! restart chrome after download to get it working.

Works great.

A fantastic plugin! It makes deleting a group of things so much easier. I can't imagine going back to not having this anymore.

Great - works well, use it all the time

Useful plugin, but I have the same date problems as mentioned elsewhere in here. When I select a group of cards and batch change their date, it adds one day to the chose date. For example, if I choose 17 February 2017, 12:00, all cards are changed to 18 February 2017, 12:00.

Hi, great app and extremely time saving, however it adds one extra day every time I use the due date. E.g. I schedule for Dec 12th and it changes toDec 13th. Very frustrating

Worth the price of admission. I use this daily. :)

Amazing!

This really is the one thing that was missing from Trello. This just works as advertised. Great value for the small donation

probably the most Trello extension I have ever used.

Great tool amigo! A small request on my part: give the option to hide archived boards, and group the boards by team in the list. When you use Trello for work and are part of many organizations that is extremely helpful.

How did I manage without this. Thank you for this extension.

Best $.99 cents I've ever spent!! Thanks for a great extension :)

Incredible tool, huge fan, thank you. Would be fantastic to use multi select and change the dates for all the cards selected !

Loved it, we are buying quite a few of these! It is extremely helpful as we use Trello for asset tracking and have 100s of cards moved constantly. CMD + Select is the best feature ever!!! And THANK YOU for listening to your users and making updates!!! They are amazing. Just told all our team about the Shading you've implemented! This will be AWESOME! We really really want it.

Batch operations is a must for any software administration. Finally, there's a tool for doing that for Trello. Thanks Federico.

Excellent! Gives the ability to use multi-select to mark multiple cards with labels, move them to lists, add text to the card titles, archive the cards, and delete the cards. I love the fact that the checkboxes aren't always on the cards; they only appear when you hover your mouse over the cards. Thus, this app does exactly what it is supposed to do without cluttering the Trello interface. Great app!

Good start to a function Trello should have had all along. Next step would be to press-and-hold Ctrl to select cards and/or activate a selection box. Also, with cards selected, simply click and drag them en masse.
