I have an “OVERVIEW” workspace and a “DETAILS” workspace.
When an item is added to specific Boards in the “DETAILS” workspace, I want a copy of the new item created in a corresponding Board in the “OVERVIEW” workspace.
The item in the “DETAILS” workspace may spawn a number of related or sub-items in other Groups or Boards, but I don’t need to track any of that in the “OVERVIEW” workspace.
What I want is to have the STATUS column for the original item in the “DETAILS” workspace to be connected to the STATUS column for the corresponding item in the “OVERVIEW” workspace. Then, when the STATUS is changed for the item in “DETAILS” it will display the current status in “OVERVIEW.”
I thought that using Connect Boards would allow me to set up a Mirror column that would display the STATUS from “DETAILS” items in the mirrored STATUS of the corresponding “OVERVIEW” items.
After setting everything up, I’m seeing that I have to manually go into each item and indicate what item it’s connected to. I’m so confused as to why this requires manual input. Why doesn’t the entire column just automatically display the STATUS of the column being mirrored?
It seems like this functionality is not going to work, and I’m going to have to set up some additional automations to change STATUS across workspaces, but I’m still confused why anyone would want functionality that requires constant, manual tweaking to work.
