      Issue Summary

      When a list/board name is changed, any existing automation rules that reference the old name cease to function. The automation rule retains the old name as a string, causing it to lose connection with the renamed board/list.

      Steps to Reproduce

      1. Step 1: Go to "SOURCE BOARD" with two lists, "List A" and "List B," and add an automation: "When a card is added to list 'List B' by anyone, mirror the card on the top of 'TARGET LIST' on board 'TARGET BOARD'."
      2. Step 2: Move the card "TEST" from "List A" to "List B" on "SOURCE BOARD" to trigger the automation. The card should be mirrored into "TARGET LIST" in "TARGET BOARD."
      3. Step 3: Rename "TARGET BOARD" to "NEW TARGET BOARD NAME" on the board itself, without adjusting the automation.
      4. Step 4: Add a new card "WON'T MIRROR" to "List A" on "SOURCE BOARD" and move it to "List B." The card will not mirror to "NEW TARGET BOARD NAME" into "TARGET LIST."

      Expected Results

      The automation should continue to work seamlessly, mirroring cards to the renamed board/list.

      Actual Results

      The  automation rule still references the old name and stops working.

      Workaround

      Update the new name in the automation rule to match the new board/list name. This will restore the functionality of the automation.
