Item Mapping
What’s mapping? Here, you can set column values for newly-created items.
The column fields specified in the mapping are static for the “Every time period, create an item” recipe. That is, the values you enter into a mapped column will be reflected for each auto-created item. In our example, each newly-created item will have the status “Working on it.”
Note: When an item is created through automation, any changes made to the modifications section are not carried over to the new item. Updates cannot currently be mapped when creating new products. If you desire to maintain your modifications, attempt automation for moving items.So let’s plunge into an example!
Item creation example
When a new item is added to this group, generate an update.
Use Case: A transport team has added a list of tasks for each location to the board. The automation recipe enables the team to associate an update with a location item automatically.
- Board Structure
- Update field
It is possible to append the column values of an item to the update. Select the cyan “Supported Fields” option to add the column value to the update.
Supported columns
Currently, the following column types are not supported in the “update” field of automation:
- Formula
- Automatic Number
- Progression
