Agree - this is a definite need. It’s not practical to select one by one. When I met with our dedicated account manager yesterday, I also asked about mirroring the entire row, including the first column (item name) and the suggestion was made that I manually type the item name again to match what’s coming over in the mirrored column. That defeats the purpose.
It’s still not ideal but another workaround I’ve tested:
- Set up a two-way connection between your high-level and poject board
- Connect first task on project to item on high-level board
- Set Item Deafult Values to the setting of the first task in step 2.
- Now any new items are added to the items in the connected column on high-level board
You can then hide the connected column on project board as it’s just the same entry for each task.

Lol Monday.com is a joke. Once again, this platform is missing basic, intuitive functionality.
Nearly 2 1/2 years since this was requested. We’re done waiting.
See you all on Asana.

Hello @danaaviv, please make this a feature. Should be simple.
Items in different boards reflect each other no matter which board the update/change happens.
Thanks
Hi @AronK. Can you please update on this topic and if there’s an ETA on this core platform functionality? It’s been 5 months since your prior reply and well over two years since this request was first submitted. My team and many others REALLY need this. The connect boards / mirror columns are still not truly functional.
This request ranks 7th in terms of current total votes and should really be combined with the #6 most-voted - About the Link & Mirror function. Together they have over 180 votes and would be in pole position for the most requested feature (functionality fix). There are multiple other mirror column requests, e.g.:
Unable to sort or filter by mirrored columns
I can't use mirrored columns in automations anymore
Please provide an update on overall plans and timeline for making the mirror column achieve its full functionality. Thank you!

Yes yes. Agreed here. From the perspective of someone who is evaluating Monday.com for clients, they’ve set expectations in their marketing that just doesn’t seem viable without an additional layer of constant, manual supervision.
I kept thinking I must be missing something obvious until I found this thread.

This is by far my biggest struggle in Monday right now. I am hoping this is in the works! While not new to Monday.com, I am new to the community page…is there a more formal way I can throw my support behind this ?

Monday! Wake Up!
We your customers need this.
I have done IT work for 30 years. I realize this is a hard ask from a programing / database view point, so much code can break. But give us a beta version to test or at least acknowledgement of this issue!
I have installed and evaluated thousands of pieces of software in my life. The reason I pay you every month is because you have the best project management software available! Please don’t make me reevaluate my decision and search for something better for my customers and myself! I don’t think I will currently find anything better. However if your software can’t meet my customers needs then I am forced to move them to a different platform! Please listen when we tell you we need a feature, if you don’t we will leave!!!

I really need this functionality - trying to convince my business to upgrader to enterprise will be impossible without it!

We are in the midst of a decision to move our whole enterprise from Asana to Monday but this is essential to achieving full enterprise efficiency.
Any update please? Over two years with no outcome of such a basic feature that is must have for so many. This worries me…
I also agree that an update on this issue is LONG overdue to the community. We have been more than patient, and it is critical to a proper workflow. So much time is spent ensuring new items are reflected, and as we want to go deeper with the product, this limits its potential immensely. Why are you not listening and keeping so many users informed?

Hi all!
Firstly, we sincerely apologise for the delay in updating you all. We are working on a process to improve our responsiveness, so really appreciate your patience and understanding in advance.
As for this particular feature, we have noted all of your comments and ensured this has been flagged for review. The team is aware that the functionality of the mirror/connect board column in general needs improving, so please be assured that this feedback is incredibly valuable to us. In full transparency, as of now, we cannot provide a concrete update on this feature, particularly supporting bulk select of a group or board, however we have followed up internally and once provided with more information to share, we will circle back

Hi @BiancaT. Thank you for your reply. My comments here are meant to help the Monday Team better understand the urgency of this and to emphasize the need for more information and action on this critical core functionality that remains unusable at scale due to the problems noted in this and related threads. I am tagging @danaaviv and @Julia-monday.com who have responded before on this topic, as well as @dipro and @brett-monday.com for their input on my prior post about Monday’s transparency, responsiveness, and development priorities.
I am happy to hear that you all “…are working on a process to improve our responsiveness…”. However, after three years of partial solutions and uncertainty about long-term plans, Monday users need more than that on this topic.
Users have been VERY patient waiting for more substantive information and action on a fully-functional solution. We need more than and general statements that this is important and the team is aware, but that you can’t provide concrete updates. (See prior Monday responses below).
These “features” are more than just features. Having fully functional data connectivity is fundamental to effective use of Monday as a true relational database and WorkOS platform. That functionality is critical for enterprise-level data management and all the use cases that require reliable and automated data connectivity and integrity. At least for our organization, this is the foundation upon which all other platform functions are based.
We have heard from our Monday consultant that this is being worked on by the Monday Team. However, no details or timeframe have been provided.
Request: Please provide users with a comprehensive update on your specific plans and timeframe for board/item/data connectivity and relational database functionality. Ideally, Monday would create a new forum topic dedicated solely to development and implementation of relational database functionality and provide specific ongoing updates. Thank you for considering.
Some of the prior Monday staff updates on this topic:
July '21: It looks like this is listed as a 2021 candidate but beyond that I do not have an estimated ETA on when this would be available!
