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.
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.
