Seeing some idea submissions for this, but also looks like it used to be a capability. Is it possible to mirror something from the parent item into the subitem of the same board? (Bonus - without needing to create an Connection column.)
Closed thread indicating past capability, but no how-to instructions: Connecting Item Board With Subitems Board - Get information from The parent item to the Subitem
Hi @MondayMyco - This is possible but only with using a connect board column and selecting the parent item to mirror the columns. There is also functionality in the Autoboost app to copy a value from the parent to the subitems.
Hope this helps!

@MondayMyco Hi What you are trying to do is possible with VLOOKUP marketplace app by setting an auto-link between parent board and its sub-item board (this works since sub-items are a hidden sub board).
You do need a key value which both on board item and sub-item for matching between them.
Let me know if you need any help.

Hi there,
Subitems Pro Automations app can help with that. You can use the following automation to copy parent column to all subitems:
If you’re looking to copy a value to specific subitems, you can set up a connection using connected boards and mirror columns. If find a mirror column on subitem hard to work with, you can use a following automation to copy it to standard subitem column:
