Although the Formula column is still not fully supported by the Same Item Multiple Boards app, there’s a simple workaround that lets you transfer formula results between boards automatically using the Connected Boards and Mirror columns.

1️⃣ Add a “Connected Boards” column

📍 On your target board (the one that should receive the formula result):

• Add a Connected Boards column.
• Connect it to the source board where the Formula column exists.
• Add a Mirror column and select the Formula column from the source board as the data to mirror.

2️⃣ Set up the automation

📍 Go to the board where you want to mirror the formula:

• Click Automate → Templates and search for “connect”.
• Choose the recipe:“When column changes, connect the item where this column matches another column in another board.”
• For the trigger, select a column you update frequently (e.g., Status).
• Match items based on a shared identifier — typically the Name column.
• Confirm that both boards are connected correctly and save your automation.

3️⃣ Test your setup

• Change the trigger column (for example, set Status to “Done”).
• This will activate the automation and connect the matching item in the other board.
• Check the Mirror column — the Formula result should now appear automatically!

💡 Tips

• Use a column you update often (like Status) to ensure your automation triggers reliably.
• Periodically review your automation logic to confirm it’s still connecting items as expected.

✅ Once this setup is complete, the formula result from one board will automatically appear on another letting you view and use the calculated values without manual updates.
