we have some trouble with the automation rule, it seems like a bug!
We wrote this automation in template board:
When Ressource is assigned to People create an Item in Board and link them using Link
This rule works perfectly, thanks to all the Monday’s team. But it doesn’t work on template boards or on duplicates.
The rule is in the template board and when we create a new board using the template or duplicating an existing board, the rule is here, but doesn’t work. For now, we must delete and recreate the rule which we can’t do, due to the massive number of board we have :(.
HI @Quentin! I’m glad you posted about this! Currently, any automation recipe that includes “mapping” or the ability to transfer fields over to a new item being created, in addition to time tracking, are not supported upon duplication. This includes cross board automations (as you mentioned above) as well as recurring items. Our team is aware and we are looking to support this in the future. Hope that gives some clarity! Cheers!
Hi @lauralev are you saying that if I have a template board with 48 automations and 47 of them are tied to columns that are mirror/linked that only 1 automation will come over when I create a new board based off that template? Because if so, this is a huge problem. Also, when I do this, not even the 1 automation that isn’t tied to a linked column comes over to the new created board. AND/OR could it be because the autiomations were all created by an automation recipe instead of one the pre-written automations?
The problem
Cross board automations recipes that includes “mapping” or the ability to transfer fields over to a new item being created, in addition to time tracking, are not supported upon duplication.
The Solution
Use VLOOKUP auto-link a powerful connect boards and mirrors alternative to mapp an auto-link multiple boards while keeping monday native automations, integrations, reporting support.
