Description
Sync Managed Columns across all boards the managed column exists.
What are you trying to achieve
Here’s my use case:
I have a Client Directory board. When a new client is added, a new Project board is created for them.
I also have 4 different form submission boards that all need to tie back to the client. To handle that, I created a Connect Boards column in each form board that links back to the Client Directory, so the client dropdown in the form stays up to date.
The issue:
In the forms, the Connect Boards column always defaults to hidden. At first, it looked like this could be avoided if the person submitting the form was logged into monday, but that doesn’t seem to work.
If I unhide the question and make it required, it briefly appears in the form… but then defaults back to hidden again.
My attempted solution:
I created a Dropdown column in the Client Directory that copies the client/item name via Make.
My plan was to use that dropdown as a managed column in each board, but those can’t be updated via automation, so it defeats the purpose.
