I am using the dropdown column and the hasthag column to create different attributes for my items in my high level board.
I also currently use the “When status changes to something, create item in board” automation in my high level board, to populate other boards with my items and their columns once their status changes. But: Neither the already existing dropdown data or hashtag data gets transported with the items that are created in the other board on status change.
Inside the automation control, it looks like this:
As you can see, I can choose which data gets transported for almost every other column, but the hashtag and dropdown column stays empty, since there are not real options to choose from. Not for existing data at least. That means all exisitng data I input into the hashtag and dropdown columns does not show up on other boards once created, even with hashtag and dropdown columns present in these other boards.
Is there any way to do this and combine it with my automation?
The rest of the columns work but even though the tag columns are called the same thing, it doesn’t import the tag from one board to the other. The tags we are using a shareable. It will not display the tag column to select in the recipe. Not sure what we are doing wrong.
Thanks for expanding - tags used in a Shareable to Private won’t be recognized as the same tags as they are meant to be “private” so you may need to use the dropdown column or change the boards to main (public).
I can definitely appreciate how this would be a useful addition to the platform for yourself, and I’m sure for other teams too, so I would highly recommend opening a thread in our Feature Request section.
Here other users who would also like this added to the platform will be able to upvote the feature!
