Include connected boards/mirrored columns in forms!

Hey folks

Really need the ability to include mirrored columns/connected boards in forms - The connected boards feature is key to being able to link our data sets together for reporting, and the ability for individuals to link the data correctly from the moment of entry is key (Otherwise this would then need to be manually completed after the fact)

This will enable us to ensure data entry is correct from the moment it’s entered in the form, and already correctly linked to the right boards.

Thank you!

Hey, i have the same need. But mirrored columns are just one need to be added.
Its so much better to get latest Data of e.g. customer list or Site list via mirrored bards.

Me too - not to create new items in another Board, but to select from existing items, and show related content

How does this have zero response from the monday team after a year and 19 votes? It would be nice if this is addressed.

Hi Cory, I published a post addressing this particular limitation. There’s an easy way actually. Here it is

The video doesn’t show up on the link you provided and there’s not any further instructions either.

Would you be able to look into this please?

I am surprised that more people have not voted for this one. The amount of time and automations built to even get close to this function is so time consuming. Please, can we get this one on the road map?!!

Looking at the possibilities of other applications that are terribly expensive, it is important that this function also allows you to select the elements that are to be displayed and selectable from the connect board column in a given form. Just as it is possible to hide elements in the status, it should also be possible to hide elements from the connect board column (once such an option is available).

Additionally, we need to be able to select when the customer selects element X from the connect bard column in the form, specific sub-elements that we select will be displayed for him to choose from. Not all sub-elements of the connect board, but individual ones assigned to specific connect board elements.

We have this workflow:
A booking form with a connect board column connected to the Events board.

On the Events board, each individual event is a separate item.

Each event has 2 different event times (e.g. lecture at 10:00 and concert at 16:00).

In the booking form, we want the customer to be able to select event Selects: An event (connect bard) in the form and then a sub-element to this element (not to another).

I have the same need, when can monday.com provide this functionality?

@kris1 to include mirrored columns in monday.com forms I suggest you check out Smart Mirror Column marketplace app that was create specifically to resolve this issue.

Here is a demo
