I would love to see a way that you could view/link a task into multiple boards. If I create a task on one board I can make it show up (via automations maybe) on another board.
With my team there are a lot of us and we do a lot of collabrative work with eachother. But we all have a lot of different tasks that a lot of different people create. currently we are basically all working out of one board we call “Team Tasks” The problem is that it has well over a hundred tasks in it (yes we use different groups) but it is still hard to navigate and remember what tasks you are assigned to.
So I want to be able to create a task in “Team Tasks” and build an automation that then creates and links that task to my personal board if I am assigned to it. Then if I change the status, write an update, or do anything else to change/update the task. Then all the other boards that have that task aslo get the new update. If I change the status to “waiting for review” on my personal board. The satus will aslo change on the “Team Tasks” board.
You can continue adding the “create item in board and connect” as you see relevant. Once items are connected you can then utilise the mirror column to mirror associated columns across boards!
I’d love to hear if this is along the lines of what you’re looking for! If not, please feel free elaborate further
@BiancaT this would work but ads a lot of complexity (and a lot of additional columns) to the board. This is a standard feature in Asana and would be awesome to have here in Monday.com as well.
On the task level in Asana, you can tie it out to multiple boards which is very helpful for how teams actually process work.
A good example is with the email program. “Email A” is part of Campaign X. I want to see it on the campaign project board as part of the wholistic set of activities going on to support the campaign, but would also like to see it on our separate email calendar where the email team focuses their strategy.
Not all tasks from one board should be on another board. We need the ability to add a single task to another board, and any actions taken on the task from any board need to be reflected across all boards it is attached to. Asana has this! Not having this is causing a lot of headaches. This would allow us to optimize how we set up and share boards, and reduce duplicate work. It’s a small but mighty feature.
Reviving this thread. Has anyone found work-around? We are running into the same request with users requesting how they can do something similar to the multi-homing feature of Asana in Monday.com.
Doesn’t MY WORK take care of this issue? If you have a PERSON column, and you are assigned to that line item (TASK), then it will show up in your MY WORK. You can add as many team members to the PEOPLE columns TASK as you want, or create a TEAM and add the TEAM to that TASK. You then create an automation that will alert the TEAM when the TASKs STATUS has changed.
I have had this thought too - except that it clogs up the My work if everything you need to be aware of but don’t necessarily need to be assigned to shows up there - Especially as a PM or a Manager of the work.
Hi
Did any one figure out how to do this ?
Also in Wrike they have similar feature like Asana and it’s very useful
Anyone knows if it was added to Monday ? or if it’s planned to be added?
Hi @Jill.S , were you able to get a solution for your needs? While this feature is not yet in monday, we’ve developed an app you can try installing and see if it does the job. Here it is Link to our App in the Marketplace
hey @rodneyz, thanks for sharing (5 times ). There are a few limitations people should know about.
you can only install their app on one board. So you can’t take a task from any board and share it.
Also, you can’t edit an update. You can only add a new one. I often don’t have a need for new updates, rather I edit my updates, which are often todo lists or simply lists.
While I’m grateful that someone is taking this request seriously, I’m going to have to uninstall it as I need to share tasks from multiple boards across multiple boards.
I’m an Asana (& Monday.com) user and there a quite a few loveable features in Asana that Monday.com is missing. It’s a shame really. Asana has been very pro-active in adding many, many new features this past 12-months.
Recently started at a new company that uses Monday, and not having this feature is causing me a lot of headaches!
I want a way that I can track ‘actions’ I need to take and organize them in a way that works for me. The ‘My work’ board does not help me either, since it’s cluttered with ‘inform’ items and ‘actions’ mixed together and way to little options to sort and group in a way that makes my work easier.
Agree with all the commentary above. This post has 9.6k views which should say more than the number of upvotes. @BiancaT where is this on your product roadmap??
Perhaps, I am reading the issue incorrectly, but I think I may be doing what you are describing in my boards.
I have a board for software bugs that have been identified through playtests of a game. I have a column that has the template “item ID” on this board. I renamed the column “Issue ID.” If you click the dots on this column, you can customize the column. I chose the option to “copy” the “link” instead of the text.
Now, I have other board with project tasks that need to be completed on the game. These items are mostly from our sprint planning sessions - planned tasks. I added a column to these boards using the “link” template. I have renamed this column “Issue ID” as well. Now, when I have a bug that need a resolution, I create an item on my milestone task boards amongst the rest of the tasks that were already there.
Lastly, I go to the bug board, click on the autogenerated item id number in the Issue ID column and it auto copies the actually link to the item, not the text, because that is what we have customized that column to do prior. Then, I take that copied link and paste it into the issue ID column on my task board; it asks if I want to alter the display text (item description), and I choose ok. The result, I get a hyperlink that links back to my item on the bug board. Secondly, it converts my item ID number to the actual item name on the bug board, not the URL or the ID number itself.
You can customize this column to disable that and it will paste the URL to the link. If you want the item number to show instead of the description or URL, then DON’T disable this feature; instead, when you paste the link in the box, it will pop up with the text you want displayed and your pasted URL. Then, simply copy the ID number from the URL you pasted and paste it in the URL’s display text. You will then have a hyperlinked ID number that goes back to your other board’s item.
Bumping this issue up.
It seems like there is still no built-in solution for this problem,
My team and i are having hard time creating a multiple board task workflow, the missing built in features we’re having are:
the abillity to mirror a mirror from Board A to Board C, while Board B has the first mirror
single task across multiple boards, when the project manager creates a task in his board we’re missing an automation that not only creates an item to my dev board but also connects some of our collums live.
