Hi
Wondering if it would make more sense to use these column types in Monday.
- Connected Board: https://support.monday.com/hc/en-us/articles/360000635139-The-Connect-Boards-Column
- Used to connect Boards
- Mirror Column: https://support.monday.com/hc/en-us/articles/360001733859-The-Mirror-Column
- Used to pull data over from a connected Board column

Hey Troy,
So the Mirror column is not going to work because as soon as the item leaves or is deleted or archived. That information that was in Board B is not completey missing in ALL entries. I need the data to be in there in a stagnant way.
I’ve tried using the Zap that you mentioned but, I’m not quite sure about the “details’ of setting up the Zap. Meaning, I get it all set up (like you have laid out), but there are other details/fileds that seem to be rather important that (I think) are causing me errors in my zap.

You would need to provide more context by posting screenshots with how your Zap steps are outlined and configured in EDIT mode along with the encountered errors.

Item ID field for Monday expects a Monday Item ID value which is a number.
The mapped variable has “No Data”.
Make sure to use a Zap trigger example that has data populated for the desired field and make sure the desired field has the expected value (type/format).

Example of a Monday Item ID mapped to the Monday Item ID field.
In Step 3, if you want to update the Monday Item from Step 1, then you would map the Monday Item ID from Step 1 to Step 3 for the Item ID field.
