We have an automation in one board that when an item is created it creates a new item with the same name in another board. The boards are two-way connected and I built the automation with a two-way connection as well. This works as expected. The problem is, occasionally we have to adjust the item name and this editing of the item name doesn’t carry over between boards. Any solutions for how to get the item name to update across boards when changed in one board? I thought this worked with other mirrored columns but can’t figure out how to make it work when it’s the very first “item” column. Thanks in advance for any ideas!
Which product (CRM/Work Management, etc) and level (Pro/Enterprise) do you have currently?
Hello!
The main “item name” column in monday.com doesn’t automatically sync across two-way connected boards. To achieve this, you’ll likely need workarounds such as establishing a manual update protocol, using third-party apps from the monday.com Marketplace designed for advanced synchronization, creating a dedicated synchronized “Name” text column with automations on both boards, or building a custom automation using platforms like Make or Zapier. Consider using subitems if the linked items represent sub-tasks. The core item name is treated differently from other mirrored columns in monday.com’s architecture.
