      Issue Summary

      When customers make changes to their custom fields, labels, lists, boards, etc., Automation doesn’t automatically reflect those changes and relies on customers to update the commands manually to remember all the changes they made.

      So, instead of relying on the names used for custom fields, labels, lists, boards, etc., we also start using our IDs for them. Using the ID would ensure that any changes made to a label, for example, wouldn’t impact the currently enabled commands. I’m not sure this change is possible, but I’m confident it could help many users avoid messing up their Automation commands when changes are made on the board.

      Steps to Reproduce

      1. Create an Automation Rule linked to a specific Board/List/Custom Field
      2. Rename this Board/List/Custom Field

      Expected Results

      Automation keeps working

      Actual Results

      Automation stops working

      Workaround

      Manually edit all the rules to new names.
