Our app Columns auto-link is about to be released to monday.com marketplace and is ready for you feedback.
Columns auto-link functions like v-lookup. It helps keep data across multiple boards aligned while saving the time of manual linking and keeping you safe from data alignment errors. It help building complex solutions that up until now requires manual linking.
Here is a video showing how to link high-level resources board with low-level project board for automatically connect hours worked with cost without the need to manually link it.
We would love to have you part of our beta program. You can join using this link WorkForms
any timeline on that @Nir-Jetpack
BTW bit of feedback seems to not always update when adding a new line, I have to type something in the linked column to trigger it
Aprt from that seems to work well and when you have the multi condition links I will look to integrate properly into our workflow
Hi @Nir-Jetpack I just installed it but it doesn’t seem to update. Any known issues ongoing for the moment? Contact me directly if you want me to send you a screen recording.
Also, any plans to support a “connect board” column as a target column? This would be really useful for the workflow for one of my customers, so when a new item is created or a unique identifier it contains is updated, the link to the correct item in the parent board is automatically filled thus linking other data.
we noticed an error while using the vlookup function (we are using it for inventory keeping) .
Once the link was made between two items in two different boards, we realized that when a sale was eliminated, the link wasnt and the stock was still being affected by a sale that was no longer existent.
The only way to delete it was to search for that specific sale and deselect it.
Please let us know if you’ve encountered this error.
@Nir-Jetpack This looks great, it could solve the problem I’ve been banging my head against for the last hour. But in case it’s useful feedback at this point I don’t feel I can justify the expense - for our little company we’d be spending more on this app than we spend for our main Monday.com subscription. I know it’s tricky, because for a large company with lots of users this might be a small expense, but I can’t see a way for you to differentiate.
Please can you assist. Im using the Vlookup function and its inconsistent - sometimes it automatically returns the correct value - and sometimes it just does not automate and the I have to go into VLOOKUP and click activate on existing items. Why does it not automate all the time - this is from Form Submissions
