Hi everybody,

We need/want to create a workspace / board / column from scratch via our own script using the API after definitions and specifications.

We want to have sandbox workspaces (copy of the futur production’s workspace) for our developpers and QA.

Is it a limitation on the API, but i can’t find the way to create a column “relation_board” type with the API.

Is there a solution ? Must we create it manually !! (so bad!)
because we want easily create sandbox env. when we want and delete it and recreate it when we need with a total control on column ids.

Hope someone can answer or help

Hello @Marc_Furberg,

At the moment, unfortunately it is not possible to either create or connect a Connect Boards column through the API. It has to be done manually.
Here is the documentation on that

This is now possible using API version 2023-10 and up.

Edit: While it is now possible to link items, connecting boards to the column via the API is still on our backlog.

Happy Coding

Hello @DanielHai,

Is there an approximate target date for this feature of the API?

Thanks!

Hi Joel

I dont have an ETA right now, but will update if this changes.

I will say this is probably one of the biggest new capabilities you could add to the API, creating the column, setting the connected boards, also on mirror columns setting the mirrored column on each connected board.

I have so many workflow app ideas for this.
