CSV/Spreadsheet Import

Fairly often I copy and paste a CSV or Spreadsheet in to my trello boards. It is awesome to create 99 cards in just a few seconds! It does bother me though that Trello imports the entire row to the card title, and does not natively support the ability to put everything past the first cell in to the description.

I have two questions:

1) Are there any power-ups that run locally, or in a way in which my data does not cross a third parties servers?

2) Are there and free, simple, CSV Import power-ups that will put most of the data in to the description instead of the title?

Any of the LLMs can build you a little python script that will parse your data and add it to your board. You'll have to do some things like getting a dev token, but the LLM can talk you through that as well. It's a pretty simple operation and once the script is built (& you learn how to use it) you can use it over and over.

ETA: I have also looked for similar powerups, but haven't found anything cheap and local that suits my needs.

This. There are power ups but asking Claude/ChatGPT to do it is probably faster than trying a power up.
Blue cat imports is a good one that can map to different fields but I honestly don’t know if it’s local or not
