One item on two boards with same updates (Item synchronisation on two boards)

Hello,

I want to create automation which should work like this: when on “BOARD 1” I will create Item this Item would be mirrored/synced to the “BOARD 2” and all updates that some user will make inside this Item on BOARD 2 will be visible on BOARD 1 in the same item too.

Is there any chance to do this in Monday?

I already tested “Connect boards” and “Mirror” features but these features are only usefull for columns (cells), they don’t show change inside Item (updates).

Hey @MattPL,

I am afraid this isn’t currently possible - I apologise for the setback :pray:

This is actually a feature that is on our long-term roadmap. You can add your vote to the existing feature request here → Shared or mirrored updates for connected items :pray:

Thank you @BiancaT for quick reply. Glad that this feature will be developed in the future.

You should check out the conversations app on the marketplace, developed by Omnitas one of our platinum partners. Its a fantastic app and i have used it to sync updates across linked items in multiple implementations, it works very well.

Hi @MattPL , we’ve made a video specifically for your concern and how to address it. Please watch it here Syncing items or boards including updates in monday.com boards | Same Item Multiple Boards

Hi all,

We recently published a detailed guide showing how to resolve this issue. The guide shows how to sync updates between high level board items and several connected child board items, without the need to duplicate your items across multiple boards.

So when an update is posted on the high level board item, it is propagated down to all the connected child board items updates and when an update is posted on the child board, it is sent to the high level board connected items’ updates.

That way, the high level board item aggregates the updates from the child board items and the child board items can view updates from the high level board items.

Here’s the link to the guide: https://community.monday.com/t/seamlessly-sync-updates-conversations-across-connected-monday-com-boards/117493

And here’s a demo of the solution:

Hey Folks,

I recommend you try our Mirror item Multiple Boards app.

It lets you -

  • Mirror the same item to multiple boards

  • Subitems, Updates(comments) + replies are live synced as they happen

  • You get a complete sync overview of where the item lives

Centralize your designs (3)

How it works: You just select an item, choose which boards to mirror it to, and that’s it. Any updates sync automatically in real-time.
