Duplicate Groups including Updates through API

It seems like this would be difficult to do. You can query updates but not filter on item_id. You’d also successfully have to track replies and potentially files which are all separate entities.

@noeljobrack

What you have found is correct. duplicate_group does not provide a mechanism to copy updates. However, duplicate_item DOES!

One way to accomplish what you are wanting would be to copy each items in the group specifying the “with_updates:true” parameter.

The basic Make scenario steps would be something like this:

1. Create a new group
2. Get the items in the group to copy
3. For each item:
   – Duplicate the item
   – Move the item to the new group

What is Make & How can it help you with monday?

Thanks @JCorrell we’ll give that a try, really appreciate you replying.

Thanks @shadmickelberry for the reply too.

You legend!
This worked great thank you so much 🙂

One final cheeky question, we currently ‘link’ items in a group on one board to sub tasks in an item on another board (we have a summary view and a detail view). Linking them in this way means that progress flows upwards to the summary board.

Is there a way to update the ‘connected’ field via the API and therefore by make.com?

Thanks so much
Noel

@noeljobrack

Yes, the standard monday modules in Make will allow you to link items in the connect boards columns.
