I’m actually using General Caster at the moment to cast a column which contains a job number on a number of Boards to a tag column, which means I can use the tag to aggregate all the pulses on each board against one job.
General Caster is okay for the job, but your option seems more elegant and simple.
@JCorrell Doesn’t work with formula columns either as far as I can see. I created a formula column using LEFT to truncate another field but can’t copy from their to a text field.
Thank you all for your continued support. Seems that people are taking to the Magic🪄
@Noelie2000, I have added tags to the list. General Caster is powerful. And now, for those that just want to copy columns, there’s another option. I’m glad you are finding it useful. Formula columns are not supported. Stay tuned.
@Izobelle, we are just getting started… much more to come. I’s so encouraging to hear our efforts are making an impact.
@mark.anley - Thanks Mark. Let me know about how you’re using the “spells”.
@SarahJacobs, We have looked at that in depth. If that is a pressing need for you, maybe we should talk.
Loving the Copy values between columns functionality. We have a custom app that assigns a person from another column based on the status. Any chance it can notify a person and/or team if the source column is empty/not assigned?
Awesome to hear that you are finding the copy columns useful!
Required columns functionality does not yet support notification, although that is on our roadmap.
In the meantime, you may be able to utilize the Column Magic: “Set Status on Required Columns” recipe in conjunction with the standard “When status changes to something notify someone” recipe to get the functionality you want.
God I’ve been wanting to copy update → text → formula for searching email expression → cast formula to text → auto connect item to crm based on email for a very long time
such a feature would truly make the email integration complete
