Copy mirrored person column to normal person column

Platform discussions Special workflows & use cases

I have a high-level overview board for my development department and low-level client boards.

When an item is created on the low-level board, it also creates & links it on the high-level board.

I’m running into the issue that the workload dashboard only allows 20 linked boards, so I want to link my low-level boards to my high-level board and then connect that one to the workload board.

For some reason, the mirrored person column doesn’t work in the workload board though.

Therefore, I want to copy the mirrored person column into a native person column. Whenever the mirrored column changes, it should update the native person column as well.

Is there a way to do this? I didn’t find this solution with the Column Magic app, but I might be missing something.

I fixed it myself.

Here’s a vide on how to do it in case you want to do the same:

Do you have a solution that doesn’t require a 3rd party app?

I need that too!

My first inclination would be to use a formula to mimic the column but for some reason it didn’t work in my board. This video loaded in my search and it’s essentially the same concept except an App is used. I am curious what formula the app created to make it work properly.
