When creating a template from an existing board, Monday includes all items and retains all linked relationships. This results in several things: 1) large boards with many items either take insanely long to save as a template or simply cannot be saved as a template because they include too many items; 2) all of the items are now duplicated, and Monday doesn’t treat them as “template” duplicates but includes them as true items; and 3) suddenly all of my relationship fields include duplicate relationships because there are now two boards including those items.
I genuinely don’t understand the scenario where you would want items to be duplicated, but at a minimum there needs to be an option to create a template that does NOT include the board items. All I want is the board structure, the columns and formulas, and the automations.
