Automation to populate a connect board field

[iruser]

hi smart monday folks

I have a board Contact board with a linked column to board for Expertise

I am trying to import contacts via excel

I know i cannot import directly to the connected column so i have an import expertise column.

I am trying to make an automation to populate the connected column

I am using the prebuilt template for such.

I have selected the Board and the Matches value, but i cannot select a connect field, Monday claims i have not yet selected a board.

any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

I had that issue the other day, I refreshed and started over and it worked fine. Maybe try that?

sadly this has persisted from last week so i’ve logged out and in again as well as refreshed.

thanks for the suggestion tho.

Hey Iruser, your issue is resolved? If not then please check if you have connect board column on your board or not, if it is already there then delete it and create column again. If it doesn’t work please let me know.

the issue did not resolve. sadly i cannot delete my column as it is an existing linked column with much data already linked.

thanks for the input however.
