Description
When users create a new board from a template via the Template Center, columns that are marked mandatory in the source template should remain mandatory in the new board, including on subitems. This ensures data integrity and consistent governance across boards created from the same template.
What are you trying to achieve
You want consistent, enforced data governance across all new boards created from a template. Mandatory columns are not just for data completeness — they are also structural requirements for your integrations (API, middleware, automation platforms, ERP/SAP, Power Automate, etc.).
If the required fields do not remain required in new boards, then:
Users may skip essential inputs.
Integrations may fail due to missing mapped values.
Downstream systems may receive incomplete or invalid data.
Subitem integrations (e.g., subtask-level syncs) break due to missing required fields.
So you want the mandatory flags automatically preserved to ensure the data model remains stable wherever the template is used.
