More videos with Kimberly, please! These are so QUICK and INFORMATIVE, with an upbeat energy. I still like the longer-form videos that Jason does but for sharing "quick hits" with my team members, Kimberly's videos are it! Thank you!

This video was so helpful in helping me figure out if I want to track social posts via To-Do's or Cards. Thanks!

Are custom fields available for card tables?

[HannahPowell-rs]

Is there a way to view all of the card tables available to one user in a singular space? i.e. "My Assignments" I wish there was a "My Tables" page so I could visually see the general status of all columns I have assignments on.

Do we can import drom To-dos to card table?

Please add Card templates to Card Tables 😎

I have steps in a card/task...Is there a way to copy a card to another project's card table?

[iamnotgroot]

"Not now" and "Done" don't fit with how I'd like to use the Card Table. How do I rename those and create more sections?

[shornzy]

Would be great to see some form of automation added. i.e, if something has sat in triage for X days, then move to Not Now.
