Dependency column on a template

Hi helpful monday folks.

i have successfully set up dependencies, duration and timeline fields on my board. I now want to add that to a template so that future projects can know the action dependencies.
When you move the duplicated actions to another board you get a warning that linked columns will be lost, with a link to how to maintain links.
The link describes how to set up a workflow that allows linked columns from other boards to be maintained with text field.
It DOES NOT talk about how to maintain dependency fields.
I have tried several ways to automate copying a text field to the dependency field and each one gets so far before it just won’t work.

There are posts that suggest various third party apps that can copy a column to another. I dont have budget for third party apps. I have budget for monday.

Is there a way to duplicate a dependency off a template over to a board without having to buy a third party app?

thanks!
