Hello everyone,
Do you know if it is possible when I create a subitem in board A for example, it automatically create a item in board B with same information ?
thank you very much,

Hey @corentin.dalfarra,
Not possible at the moment, although itâs something weâre looking to do in the future! Keep checking custom automations, as we continue to add more support for subitems with those.
Feel free to write to us (at support@monday.com) as well in case we can give you more detailed support with your specific workflow.

This is achievable now! You just have to trigger it with a Status change. See automation which supports subitems:
âWhen status changes to something, create an item in boardâ.
So define all of your subitem columns on board A, make sure they are present on board B and the fill out the automation. Have a status column in your subitems that says something like âCreateâ as a trigger and you should be all set.
What is still though, missing in the ability to link them via the âConnect Boardsâ column like you can with parent items. But if you just want to create a new item from a subitem Monday now allows that.

Hi,
Can this be done so the new item takes the same description as the subitem Iâve created? the only way I can use this automation is to create a new item with a description of âNew Itemâ
This should work with the following automation as an example:
You need to choose the board first, then you can edit the default values of the item:
Where is says ânameâ is the name of the subitem is being created from.
@andrewalmand thanks thatâs worked!
Do you know how to also get other subitem columns brought across too? i.e not just the name? I have looked in the dropdown but am only given the options for the item columns, not the subitem columns

Not all columns are supported, but for example if you have a status in your Subitem that you want reflected on the new parent level item. First make sure the status options are the same, then just choose the supported inputs.
See example. You just have to scroll all they way down to the âSubitems supported fieldsâ.
My company really need for this feature/automation to support the âConnect Boardsâ column. What were aiming is a custom automation that would create an item in âboard Bâ with a status change in a subitem from board A to a specific status, connecting the subitem in board A to the created item in board B.

Hello,
When will this functionality be available?
For planning purposes, I am wanting to link subitems via the âConnect Boardsâ column, similar to parent items.
Is there a workaround for this?

We would also link this functionality to link subitems in addition to columns.

I would recommend checking out our https://view.monday.com/1092205827-f4c654f1e91a8e4e76eedbb64150c940?r=use1 to see the upcoming releases and additions to the custom automations.
I do see that we are planning to add a number of triggers and actions around connecting boards in our ânext upâ section, as well as the ability to trigger automations on the basis of a subitem being created.
Youâll find each of these releases have an anticipated release date, but itâs worth noting that these are subject to change.
It sounds like these additions could be a good option for you!
I hope this helps! Remember to mark as solved if this answers your question 
Best,
Dani

Hello @TRB-monday.com, I see this question was asked almost 2 years ago. When you say your team is looking into this feature for the future, is that 3-years time, 4-years time, 10-years time? I see many of these types of responses by your team on this community and have started to interpret it to mean: âThank you for your question, but this is not a feature that will be implemented any time soon.â

Is it possible to copy all sub-items from Item B when a new Item A is created in the same board but Item B is in Group B and Item A is in Group A? Item A is created via an automation. Any help would be appreciated.
Hi @arnoldprasad ,
We recently launched the app Special Automations - monday.com App Marketplace which has the required automation recipe for your use case.
Also if you want any other automation, do let us know at support@superworkday.com
Thanks
