Prevent automatic mapping of statuses

Is there a way to prevent an item from retaining its previous status when moved to a different board?

One of my workflows involves an automation which moves an item to a new board. I’ve set up the item mapping in the automation so that the fields I want are mapped over. However, each board has a unique status column with statuses to reflect the different stages of the process, so I don’t want the status to be mapped when the item moves. Even though I haven’t set the status column to map, every time an item is moved, monday.com automatically creates a new status label in the destination board to retain the item’s original status. Is there a way to prevent this from happening?

Hi Grace,

I can replicate the issue and this seems to be a bug to me, you should contact support to report it.

I couldn’t find a way to specify an empty status, but you can enter a text corresponding to an existing status.

At least this way, they will all have the same status.

  • In one formula, update multiple columns from multiple items.
