Environment Variables by @gamell

Given that some might want always to create the cards on the same list, or with the same label, or same due date, or same position by default, I added the ability to set those defaults via the environment variables trello.list_name, trello.label, trello.due and trello.position.

One can conveniently add or edit those environment variables without programming knowledge through the Alfred Workflow editor, clicking on the [x] button on the top right (see screenshot below).

Note: If you don't set the variable, the workflow will behave as it did before.
