Connection and Mirror - Syncing Existing Columns

We’re trying to ensure that if a dropdown column contains data on one board, that same data is mirrored on another board without manually adding the list from the original board to the new one. While mirror and connected boards work, they require linking tasks across boards, which isn’t ideal when multiple tasks exist but don’t need to be duplicated on each board.

Each board represents different projects, but they should all share the same dropdown list of entries. The current mirror and connection options add specific tasks/items to another project board, but that department doesn’t need visibility into another team’s tasks—only the dropdown data needs to be consistent across boards.

The same logic applies to the status column: if I, as a Monday admin, add a new status, it should automatically sync across all boards rather than requiring manual updates. Since we prioritize automation, can this be implemented as well?

Reference my support ID: 3913630 for details on what we’re trying to accomplish.

Hi Jason,

Sounds like you’re actually looking for a feature which is currently in Beta and gradually being rolled out: “Managed Column

This allows you to create a column template (for example dropdown column with a list of options) but when you use this managed column on a board, you can later add extra options to the managed column configuration which will automatically make the new option(s) available on all boards that use this managed column.

The feature however is only available on Enterprise. Feel free to reach out if you need more info!

Best,

Maarten

That is a shame that is only part of the Enterprise edition. Us being on the Pro edition you would think we would have some of those new features.
