Card properties

The complete field list for a card. The work-item fields — title, status, description, acceptance criteria, parent, and assignee — sync to a tracker; the visual and canvas fields are CardBoard-only.

Status values

The full status set is none, unstarted, started, completed, backlog, review, archived, and custom. The UI collapses these to three visible states — Not Started (unstarted), In Progress (started), Done (completed) — and custom shows the card’s custom_status text, used to mirror a tracker status that doesn’t fit CardBoard’s enum.

Card font size

Card font size is a board-level setting, not a per-card field. From the board’s settings, adjust the card font size to scale the text on every card on the board at once — handy for fitting more content or improving legibility. Because it applies to the whole board, it isn’t stored per card, so it doesn’t appear in the field table above or in the API. (For free-floating text that scales with zoom instead, see text stickers.)

What the API returns

The REST API exposes: id, name, version, uuid, x, y, z_index, color_name, description, styled_description, status, custom_status, size, shape, fixed_width, fixed_height, created_at, updated_at, deleted_at, with optional comments, reactions, and tracker_links. Note the public contract uses color_name (not the legacy color) and the string shape.

For which of these survive a spreadsheet round-trip, see CSV import/export.
