When using the following automation:

  • When item is created in this board, [connect] the item where [column] matches [column] in [board] by this logic*

… It would be ideal if you could link items on the basis of the item ID column, as this is the only column that is unique for each item in a board.
I’ve witnessed issues by linking items on the basis of the ‘name column’, given the risk of using the same name for two different items across boards

hi @Jakobre

If you wish to ensure the item name is unique you can use the AutoID Column app from the marketplace. The ID generated is unique per board and can be stored in the item name.
