Create an Item in One Board then Duplicate and Update Every Column Across 3 Boards

I have 3 boards.

One board is my source board that should be where everything stems from. Then I have two other boards that I would like it to update whenever a change is made in any column across all three boards.

I have a form in my first board that I will use to create the items. From that board I would like it to create duplicates in two other boards. Then I want it to update all columns across all 3 boards when any changes are made. I tried to use duplicate item in other boards, but the part I am stuck on is the mirror.

When I use the mirror function, it still has me manually connect it in the other board. Is there a way to automatically have that filled in?

So you can definitely set up a series of automations that will automatically link your boards together. For example, if Source is your board 1 with the form, then Board 2 and Board 3 are your other boards you’d like to connect, you can use this recipe:

When an item is created, create an item in Board 2 and connect Board 2 with Source, and create an item in Board 3 and connect Board 3 with Source.

This will then automatically connect all 3 boards with this new item that was created in your Source board. Then, in Boards 2 and 3, you can add mirror columns to show any/all columns from the original item in the Source board. Then, whenever any of the columns that are mirrored change in any of the boards, they will all change.

Hi @BTindall

The answer of Laura is the classic way of connecting items between multiple boards, and if you don’t need to do a true duplication of all values, and just see those in mirror columns, then this is the easiest method by far.

If you need a full duplication of all values, and more complex synchronization options, consider resynced.io app: https://monday.com/marketplace/listing/10000688/resyncedio

Here’s a step-by-step guide about how to do a sync between boards, and even between different monday.com accounts: https://youtu.be/L5QV3eORaH4

Hope it helps.
