Hello,
I would like to know if there is a way to find out if a board is a default one (I have seen it described in some frontend response as system_entity) or it is one that has been created by the user?

Hello @DevIntegrations and welcome to the community!
I hope you like it here 💪
What do you mean by a “default board”?
What would a “default board” be and how is it different from a “custom” board?
Are you referring to templates?
Looking forward to hearing from you!
Cheers,
Matias
Hello,
Thanks for the quick answering.
Once I access to the workspace CRM (already created once I signed in) I see some existing boards, that are identified by a specific icon in the UI. I called those “default”
If I add one new board later (New Board) this comes up with a standard icon. I called those “custom”
When I inspect the browser and check the network I find this response regarding :

There I can see clearly that New Board has a value for “system_entity”: {}, while, for example Leads has a value for “system_entity” of
{
"entity_name": "lead",
"is_deletable": false,
"is_system_entity": true,
"columns":
{
"id": "lead_email",
"deletable": false,
"type": "email"
},
{
"id": "lead_phone",
"deletable": false,
"type": "phone"
},
{
"id": "lead_owner",
"deletable": false,
"type": "phone"
},
{
"id": "lead_company",
"deletable": false,
"type": "company"
},
{
"id": "lead_status",
"deletable": false,
"type": "status"
}
],
"solution_instance_id": "e0cff893d4887461b00ee252babcf1cb",
"solution_type": 10073209
}
I would like to know if it is possible to get this information using the API or how I can distinguish those two different kind of boards when I am trying to communicate with Monday from my app.
Hello again @DevIntegrations,
Thank you for the explanation!
I will check with the team and let you know what they say 🙂
Cheers,
Matias
Hello again @DevIntegrations,
I have checked and as of today, there is no way to differentiate between these two types of boards via the apps framework.
I have created a request for our team to add this ability in the future 🙂
Let me know if you have any other questions!
Cheers,
Matias
