I have a Board #1 with different groups and in each group a couple of items.
I have a Board #2 with only 1 group and each item represents the group of #1
I used Connect Boards to select all items in #1 of the group (for example) A and mirror it to #2 to the item which represents A.
If I add a new item at #1 in Group A, I have to manually select the new items in #2 in the item which represents A.
Is it possible to automate that if I add a new Item in #1 Group A, it get automatically added to the connected board selection in #2 Item A?

Hey @Geserit and @Yu1992! Thanks so much for posting about this.
At the moment something like this isn’t possible, because we don’t have an automation block that will link a newly created item/an item with a status change to an existing item in another board. We only have an automation where a new item will be created and linked in another board.
Could you elaborate on what the concrete use case is here? How would it fit into your workflow? I wonder if there’s another way we could set up what you’re looking to achieve.
When I do this, it creates a column in the board I’m currently using, but I have to manually connect the item in BOTH boards’ Connected Boards Column. Is there any way to automate that the items are automatically linked both ways (two-way linking doesn’t seem to do this) as the items are created? I’m ultimately looking to have the status columns linked.
My situation: I have an event board (for tasks specific to the event) and a separate committee board (for the people who assign the tasks to volunteers). I’ve programmed that when an item status changes to a certain committee, it creates an item in the Committee Board and connects them in the selected board. Now I’m trying to figure out how to auto-connect the item and then get the task on the event board to mirror the status of the task on the committee Board. (I have 5 committees who all work on one event, so I’ll need lots of automations to tackle this workflow.)
I’ve tested this on my side and you should be able to use this automation with the Status column.
Are you perhaps using a mirror column that is mirroring the status column of another board?
I’d love to look into this further, so it would be great if you could share some screenshots of what you’re seeing on your side, or a quick screen recording!
