FAQs for a templated board
- How does enabling Board Permissions affect a templated board?
When enabling Board Permissions on a board and then templating that board, the permissions will not be carried over to the template. However, permissions settings on the original board (with the wand icon next to the title) will change to Write updates only to prevent non-owners from making changes to the templated board.
- Do the board owners and board subscribers carry over in a template?
Great question! No, they do not. When you use a template that was created from someone on your team, the board owners and subscribers will not be carried over from the original board that this template was created from.
- Who will be listed as the template owner within the template store?
The person who clicked to create a template out of a board will be listed as the template owner within the template store.
- Will dependencies that were setup remain intact in a templated board?
Good news, yes they will! If you had items connected in the Dependency Column on the original templated board, they will remain intact when anyone goes in to create a new board from that template.
- Will files remain attached in a templated board?
They sure will! Files that have been added to the original templated board via the Files Column, the Updates Section, or the Files Gallery will remain attached when anyone goes in to create a new board from that template.
- Do automation carry over in a templated board?
Automation that are turned on will carry over to any new board created from that template. With this said, it is important to know that integration recipes will carry over but will be turned off. You will need to click into the turned-off recipe and reset the integration connection once creating a new board from that template in order to use the integration.
