Hi everyone,

Has anyone found a way to support standard or managed templates in cases when an app stores board related data that should be duplicated when new boards are created from a template?

In our case, the app stores column related metadata (in monday storage) used for column views (https://developer.monday.com/apps/docs/column-views). If a user adds our column to a managed template, we would like the app data to be automatically populated for all boards created from that template, so they don’t need to configure it in each boards. New boards created from template should have the app data populated from template as well.

So far, we have not found a way to associate boards with the template they were created from. Having something like a parentBoardId or template reference on boards would make this much easier. Also having the app notified when a new board is created from template would allow us to duplicate the configuration straight away.
