Is it possible to use the API to add a templatized column to a board?

Hello there @mcdemon,

What would a “templatized column” be? A column of a specific type with specific options in it (such as a status column with specific labels to it)?

Looking forward to hearing from you 🙂

Cheers,
Matias

Yes. I have several status columns with multiple labels which have been saved as column templates. Is there an API call to add a column from the saved column template? If not, do you have an example of a query constructing them from scratch?

Hello @mcdemon,

What Cody showed is a possible way to solve this but it does not involve the API as your title suggests.

Via API you can create a script to create the column and after that, to add any data you need to it.
